I-40 Around mile marker 156 Shamrock TX

Shamrock, TexasJun 13, 20140 Comments

I was a passenger with son driving. Witnessed a TX patrol traveling eastbound with emergency lights on in left lane several hundred yards before he finds my son in left lane traveling westbound, proceeds dangerously through meridian brush and pulls my son over within seconds. I don’t believe he used any radar or speed detection device. When questioned why and how fast, all he stated was that he had us at 90mph in 75mph speed limit. My son was traveling no faster than 82-mph as attested by GPS in our vehicle. Why 90? Because that’s exactly where the fines go up to $220. We’re out of state, in fact over 1,000 miles from home…no way to fight this one. I believe he was profiling out-of-staters, and any vehicle that wasn’t a service vehicle or truck. Didn’t help that my son’s car was sports-like, deep blue, and was perfectly maintained. He was victim of this revenue generating activity, which tainted my son’s perfect driving record with no previous moving violations or accidents. The patrolman had no interest in public safety or public service.
