I travel to PCB frequently so I am very familiar with Cottondale’s speed limit going from 65, 55, 45, 35, within a very short distance so I am very careful going through there.

Sunday I was pulled over by CPL (Name omitted) and was speechless when he said I was going 55 in a 35. First of all, I would never go 20 over the limit, much less with my trooper husband and 12 yr old in the car.

When I asked to see the radar he informed me that he didn’t clock me with radar but paced me.

To make a long story short, if I was in the 35 zone and he was in the 35 zone, he didn’t have adequate time to pace me as I pulled over right past the posted speed limit. I plan to use this as my defense.

I had a hunch about CPL (Name omitted) and decided to do an internet search. You guessed it, all sorts of complaints.

I have made calls to the police chief, court, and other offices. Not surprisingly, I was told by several people(who wish to remain anonymous) that complaint after complaint comes in on CPL (Name omitted).

It’s a shame when a bad officer gives such a bad reputation to the dept. However, these types usually end up hanging themselves.

If you don’t complain, don’t contest it, it will continue to happen
