Cruisers prowl and pulse their radar toward oncoming traffic. The speed limits are ridiculously low (down to 30 mph) on the five-lane, clear-view, unobstructed highway, with unexpected reductions at odd locations. The Estill Springs racket is evident by driving by the "courthouse" (a small frame annex to the police department) on days when court is in session and observing the line of people spilling out into the parking lot. The courtroom is a production line, with most "offenders" receiving probation and paying "court cost" of around $130.00. Avoid Estill Springs if at all possible.
