185 and 317

Crawford, TexasFeb 18, 20112 Comments

Block of Crawford is 30 mph from 45 where as coming into and leaving Crawford is 60 mph. I was coming in from McGregor on 317. Speed limit dropped from 60 to 45 in matter of seconds. When I approached 185 a cop pulled out in front of me. I swerved to keep from Tboning him. He made a left in front of me went to edge of town turn around and sped trying to catch me. I was already in the 60 mph zone better than 1 mile when he caught me. He informed me that he is a Williamson County Officer and that he pulled me over for speeding. It was 45 when I came into town and 45 when I left town. He got me for 45 in a 30. When I went to the police station the clerk informed me that they dont have local officers that they have to hire out of town. When I informed her that her officer pulled out in front of me she said you are on video speeding I said I see now. How could he have videod me when I was well out of town when he tried to stop me. You are more concerned with a violation than the wrong doing of your officers. No wonder they cant keep cops! 1 block is really 30 and I didnt pay attention to it because their officer almost caused a wreck. I was set up! This town is a speed trap, avoid it!

We do not have a speed trap in Crawford. We do have local officers, and none of then are Williamson County Sherriff Deputies. If you have a complaint about our police officers you need to contact the Chief of Police and file a formal complaint.

Unfortunately you DO have a speed trap in Crawford and that 1 block is it. And yes you do have an officer identifying himself as a Williamson County Sheriff contracted by you. A formal complaint was filed and fell on deaf ears. SO I agree with the post filed by someone else that fell in your speed trap. Beware is all I can say. Oh and the people at the courthouse are beyond rude. And never come to pay your ticket on a Friday cause you will find no one.
