Alex is a typical small town trying not to fade into the sunset. It derives about 85% of its revenue from traffic tickets. Since Oklahoma has no cap on how much of a towns total revenue can be earned from traffic citations, these guys are "going to town" on out-of-towners. If you live in Alex, you are pretty safe, but if you don’t, you’re fair game. Alex has a jurisdiction of just under 8 square miles, but most of the time their officers can be found sitting on Hwy 19 in a little valley on the south side of the road. They will write you for 9 miles over, and probably ask to search your car. They have a K-9, so it doesn’t do too much good to object. If they pull you over, get ready to sit for a while.
