Fenton, Louisiana Speed Traps

Police officer sitting under the shade tree just waiting to stop you for going 55 in the 50 speed zone. His speed reader must not be calibrated correctly because he claimed I was going 62.

This is nationally known trap with a long history. The mayor is also the judge in town, so don’t even bother trying to fight it. Traffic fines are the main source of income for the town. After being stopped there, I had a most interesting and humorous email exchange with Eddie Alfred, the mayor/judge (and probably dog catcher). Let’s just say that Mayor/Judge Alfred’s grip on reality seems to be rather tenuous. Just pay the fine by mail and do your best to avoid the area. Remember, you don’t actually have to be speeding to get a ticket there. They aren’t real sticklers on the fine points like your actual speed.

We had saw the cop sitting on the side of the road and me and my father had looked at the speedometer and he was only doing 45 he slowed to 41 and the cop wrote us a ticket for 56 in a 46 this is some complete bull.

Roughly 10 yards approaching 50mph traffic sign. Supposedly clocked by radar (prob not having all required certifications) speeding 64 in a 50 spped zone. Really???

Stealthy cop parked right under 50mph sign giving no time to slow down or warning to do so. He flipped his lights on just as soon as I hit the brake upon seeing the sign. I think this trap supports all the village taxes. Beware! Don’t drive on LA165.
