Prattville Police will stop you for anything including tag lights being out or going even 3 mph over the limit. They are looking for Drugs or any type of contraband so that they can take your car and any money that you have on you. The City and County have raised the Court Cost from $50.00 to $100.00 and are going yo use the money to build new Court Houses. I believe that the Police Department has instructions to write any and every thing they see. The already have a record for issueing something like 8,500 traffic tickets durring 1999. That was before they raised the Court Cost. Motorist are advised to stay away from Prattville, AL at all cost. This little town isn’t safe to even pass through. The police sit behind bushes, trees, signs or even behind other cars and trucks. They are especilly on the lookout for out of state and out of county tags. The Attorney Generals’ Office has been notified, but so far has failed to act. If you obtain evedence on the police about their running a speed trap I would recomend giving it to the News Media rather than the AG’s office. Also, it is very unlikely that you will win in Prattville’s Court against their Police Officer’s.
