AGGRESSIVE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT. Just skip this tourist/ speed trap. Nothing good happening here.

Bikers Beware!

Helen cops don’t like bikers. Although it is a popular destination for bikers to eat, take a break during a ride, etc. The cops will use any excuse to harass. Be sure to have all your documents in order in case they decide to do “compliance checks.” Have your drivers license, (with an “M” endorsement) tag receipt and proof of insurance ready to hand over or you’re toast!

This town is notorious for aggressive traffic enforcement all day, every day. It was about 9pm and I was pulling out of the Huddle House in Helen and accelerated to 42 MPH in a 35 MPH zone.

Where to begin with Helen, GA. This town is notorious for aggressive traffic enforcement all day, everyday. It was about 9pm and I was pulling out of the Huddle House in Helen and accelerated to 42 MPH in a 35 MPH zone. I was immediately pulled over from a police car hiding being a building. First thing he says when he comes up to the window is �I smell alcohol� even though neither me, nor either one of my passengers had been drinking. I say �I haven�t had anything to drink and I�ll be happy to take a breathalyzer� and he tells me that won�t be necessary and to get out of the car. Its 35 degrees, lightly raining, and I�m wearing short sleeves. He wouldn�t let me get my jacket out of my car at my request. At this time another police officer pulls up for no apparent reason and they administer a sobriety test, even though I said I�d be more than happy to take a breathalyzer. After I take it he tells me that I failed it? Again I say I haven�t been drinking and I�ll take a breathalyzer, but he just tells me to get back in my car. After talking to the other police officer he comes up and gives me a ticket for �too fast for conditions� and the ticket says �42 in a 35.� At this point I was happy to get out of there after being harassed. A week later I call and find out the ticket is $290.50??? What? For going 7 MPH over the speed limit? I pay the ticket and to this day I won�t go back into that town. This is just the tip of the iceberg for Helen, GA. I know numerous people that have been flat out harassed by these police that are obviously bored out of their minds in the north Georgia Mountains. If you go into Helen, you�ve been warned.

The only highway/road through this October feast intensive tourist area features local police that sit and wait for ANY infraction. Real or imageined, the result is they will come after you for speed, weaving or driveing impaired depending on how you’ve been profiled. Too bad because the area really needs the tourist trade and the city just doesn’t get it.
