Emerson, Georgia Speed Traps

Emerson PD sometimes patrol the interstate. This is the only city to do this for 50 miles. I drive to Marietta from Adairsville; Adairsville PD, Cartersville PD , Acworth PD , Kennesaw PD, Marietta PD do not patrol the interstate. That is the job of the Ga Highway Patrol.

They sit on hwy 41 on a dirt road just south of the bridge that connects the red top exit off of 75 with hwy 61. Can only be seen if headed south after you pass under the bridge and not at all if your headed north( unless your looking in the rear view)

Have had people come by my shop and ask if thier window tint was legal after being ticketed. One lady from tn in a Lexus had factory tint

The Emerson Police dept will run at night without there lights on to sneak up on you and then write a ticket for anything they can regardless of whether you broke any laws or not,Just a bunch of Barney Fife like crooks,Look-Out especially at night.

Driving east from the Cartersville airport you crest a hill and suddenly your 45 MPH speed limit in the county patrolled section of the road drops to 25 as you enter the "city." Look for trouble around the school near the bottom of the hill. And as you follow Old Alabama through the town be sure to make a complete stop at both of the 4-way stops. They are waiting for an excuse to let you help with the "city" budget.

You are going down hill, 4 lane hiway, look out as they are constantly there. For a city of less than 500 voters they have 10 plus patrol cars and at least 11 full time patrolmen on duty.
