Hwy 231 cottondale
I was traveling northbound on 231 towards Montgomery AL and as I was leaving Cottondale a Jackson County police department cruiser turned his lights on and pulled me over, walked up to my car and immediately asked for my drivers license not once telling me why I was being pulled over. I am also a police officer so I know how to act during a routine traffic stop. I handed him my license and attempted to ask a question but he ignored me and walked back to his car. A few minutes later he came back, handed me my ticket and walked off! I attempted to ask him a question again and he just walked away. I drive this road a few times a month and I know the difference in speed limits through town. I was cruising at 45 mph, once I passed the 55 mph zone, I sped up to 58 mph like I always do. He wrote me a $200 citation for traveling 58 in a 45. I have seen numerous threads about this apparent abuse of power and his terrible attitude when dealing with motorists. Do not give in to these bullying tactics, take him to court and file a formal complaint. This needs to stop
