Fairmount, Georgia Speed Traps

Police sits at Met.Church on Calhoun street, with radar on 53. As you top hill and cross bridge over railroad and you are over 35 you get ticket. beware.

Police sits in drive, next to old green house on College St.

Though Fairmount is an extremely tiny town, they now have two police cars waiting at one time on Hwy 411. They give the impression of a town looking to produce as much revenue as possible via tickets. No consideration is given as to whether you are trying to obey all laws; they just write tickets. Also, the speed limit sign that used to be by the IGA grocery store has been missing for a very long time, leaving us to guess that we are still allowed to increase our speed to 45mph at that point.

Officers will stop for Any minor violation and will search your automobile and any passengers.

One officer, in particular, will stop someone for the smallest offense, even a couple of miles over the posted limit and likes to sit in dark, concealed areas to catch unaware motorist.
