Comments:
They only people that disagree that all of Flower Mound is a speed trap are living under a rock or are the knuckle draggers employed by the Flower Mound Police Department.

I agree and this article proves it. A North Texas town made about 49,000 traffic stops in a year and a half, but only about half of the stops resulted in a citation. Flower Mound officers handed out approximately 26,000 tickets out of 49,055 stops during a 19-month period between 2009 to 2010. Officers did not issue tickets in about 47 percent of the stops. But the police department said the town is one of the safest in the United States because of traffic stops. "It's a good tool to stop someone they suspect may be in a certain area under suspicious circumstances," Capt. Richard Brooks said. According to the town's traffic enforcement report, traffic stops resulted in 1,152 arrests from January 2009 to August 2010, including drug and burglary arrests. But the town only has less than 70,000 residents, and some of them are questioning the high number of stops. “It sounds like almost everyone in Flower Mound may have gotten a ticket,” driver Brad Sullivan said. He said ticket money could be a reason for the high number, especially because of the budget crisis in Flower Mound and throughout Texas. http://www.nbcdfw.com/traffic/stories/Flower-Mound-Racks-Up-Big-Traffic-Stop-Numbers-117355158.html#comments

Wow. I noticed that the FMPD removed the referenced traffic enforcement report from their website. I quess they didn't like the scrutiny. Actions speak louder than words and the fact that they removed the report shows they know that they were caught red handed. The sad part is that the citizens of Flower Mound approved a crime district that gets a portion of the cities sales taxes so they created this beast. WE NEED TO VOTE DOWN THIS TAX when it come up for renewal.
