I am originally from this area, but thankfully got the hell out of there.
One of their tactics is to have an officeer up in a bucket pretending to be someone with the electric company, he is actually shooting radar at the cars below and will radio to a car up the road to issue the ticket. Another tactic they use is to have an officer pretending to be a homeless person-he is also shooting radar and will radio to another officer. They will issue a ticket
for 1mph over the limit. I haven’t received a ticket there but i know people who have (parents, friends). Oh well, guess you can sell drugs, not use turn signals and drive 10 under in the left hand lane, but you get a ticket for
going 1mph over the limit. Avoid this town…there is no reason to go there.
