Hampton Springs Road near Byron Buttler Boulevard
Officers with the city of Perry Fl. are sitting in a parking lot on Hampton Springs Rd. (Restoration Faith Center) They are 189 feet from the speed limit sign checking target vehicles as they approach the posted speed limit sign and making cases. The sign is .10 mile south of Byron Buttler Blvd. This practice is the very definition of a speed trap. Why not do your speed enforcement past the posted sign? Officers and departments who participate in this type of enforcement should be ashamed. This breeds resentment in citizens toward officers and government as well.I called the Perry P.D. to lodge a complaint to this tactic and was told the law in Fla. is such that the speed limit is always 30 when not posted. Why have a sign at all if the public should automatically know what the speed limit is? Beware of such underhanded tactics as you drive through Florida and Specificly Perry and Baker county.
