Brooklyn Park, Minnesota Speed Traps

The cop stands behind/next-to the light pole at the intersection just north of Brookdale Dr. on Humbolt, on the west side of Humbolt, checking cars going south. He is almost always out of his car and waves over the speeders. Car isn’t visible until to late.

As you exit onto 63rd Ave exit East. from 169 S you drive down a >20 degree hill in a 30mph zone to meet 2 squads parked on the right side of the street. They take turns with their new LIDAR toys and just walk onto the street and tell you to pull over. And give you a ticket. Talk about them being traffic hazards themselves! They don’t ask for Reg., or Insurance info, they just want your License with current address. They come back with the Minimum $130 moving violation ticket. What a scam. One girl I work with got nabbed last week and she asked to see the speed reading on the LIDAR, they refused. I got nabbed today. ANYONE, yes anyone who gets hit at the bottom of this hill will get a ticket unless they ride the brake all the way down..30mph zone? Geez..its a hill..anyone heard of gravity?
Looks like the local Police have found the perfect place to generate revenue for the city.
This seems like a quasi-illegal entrapment situation..They were blocking the whole right lane with their vehicles and just walking out in traffic to tell us to pull to the side…for some reason this just does not sit right with me..Anyone agree? They were actually blocking the right turn lane?? Get the word out.

Tere are 2 traps that I have seen at this overpass the first is a officer on the overpass guns you and radios the cars on the on ramp your make. Seen three all in a row one day. The Second is when heading west on HW610 and exiting onto noble parkway it is signed no turn on red. The police park at the park and ride and just stand on the corner and watch people turn the corner on red. Hence they walk out in the street and make you pull over.

If you are on 169 going North, the cops will sit on the grass at 63rd Ave, but you don’t see them until you go over the hill past 94. I travel this route a few times a week and see cops about every other week there.

Officers monitor Northbound lanes of Hwy. 252, sitting on the right side of the road on the concrete island next to the post for the Eastbound traffic light.
