Shakopee, Minnesota Speed Traps

Officers will park a little back from the main road, on the intersections, and laser cars going past, then come out with lights on. Will not happen after 10 am or before 4 pm weekdays, but will happen all day Saturday and Sunday to catch travelers on their way to the casino, racetrack, amusement park, renaissance festival and historical park.

It’s a Ren Faire duck pond for cops on 169, lurking in undercover cars along freeway trying to catch anyone they can. A bright red street racer type car turned out to be a Shakopee cop with a tiny little light on his dashboard–beware!

Turn out on south end of 17th Ave East about 1 mile west of Canturbury Rd. The Shakopee police department hide in here. At night they sit in the median across the street from this location – they are almost always facing east. This is a 40 MPH speed zone.

There is a very, very, very short stoplight at soutbridge parkway and th walmart drive – the shakopee police sit there and wait for people to blow the light – they also lie about their radar readings – there have been many people wrongly stopped at that light – there is not any realistic way to fight this, if you go to court there are 150 people on the same day – a majority of which are there for bogus tickets also – the shakopee police and the city of shakopee are out of control – the city budget is in the red, and they are using the police to try to feed the city coffers

Shakopee Police pull over in the South bound lane of Marschall Road, just south of 17th Avenue, as you pass St. Francis Regional Medical Center. They use laser to gauge speeds of those traveling southbound out of the 40 mph zone and into the 55 mph zone. Oftentimes, the officer is standing outside of his vehicle, on the shoulder or somewhat in the ditch.
