Hwy 22 Through Dresden, TN
The stretch of Hwy 22 that runs through Dresden, TN (about 7 miles worth) is an uber-speed trap. The trap is operated by both the Dresden City Police and the Weakley County Sheriffs Dept. I listen to the scanner approximately 12 hours a day and the amount of tickets issued per day easily reaches 70 or 80. The county has the 4th highest unemployment in the state so these tickets are revenue to fund the cops, the court and the local judge–who by the way–owns the building that houses the local probation office. They actually give an award for the police officer who issues the most speeding “citations.”
