Hwy 7 West

Marlin, TexasDec 01, 20102 Comments

West of Marlin on Hwy 7 at night, at city limit sign. Sits facing west catching travelers where speed limit quickly drops from 70 to 45. Very young female officer fresh out of a 4 month program to be a police woman. The town is on the rocks financially and is going back to seed. She ticketed me for 4 over, she said the city needed the money. I see her there after dark every trip through, raising money for her dying town. Fund raising, not safety, Its crazy to give these little poodunk towns the ticket money. ticket money should go the school fund or something else, not to those who stand to financially benefit from giving tickets. It should be about safety not about harvesting money from out of town’ers.

Comments:
Marlin only has one female officer, and she is in her late 60s. Sounds like you are actually talking about Lott.

If it was at night there is a overwieght male with a high pitched voice that could be mistaken for a female. Sits in the place you described. Best to avoid this town. local police force needs a major upgrade but there is no money, really low end town and yes they will skin you given a chance.
