I 95 mile marker 49 northbound in Darien Ga

Darien, GeorgiaAug 08, 20163 Comments

I was last in a line of 4 cars that were over taking 2 18 wheelers, in the middle lane, with basically no other traffic around for miles. I was traveling about 75 mph. The sun was just barely coming up on a tuesday morning. There were orange barrels off the right shoulder in the grass. A sherriff was waiting at an overpass/underpass just before mile marker 49. He claimed the speed limit was 60, although I had just recently seen a sign for 70. Apparently there is a single, smaller less obvious sign just before the speed trap.

I was being passed on the left by a white SUV. but the cop pulled behind me, I presumed because I was the last car in the pack and so the easy target. He claimed I was doing 84, but I was certain I was about 75 to 77.

He didnt say anything except asked for drivers license and registration, and then said signing the ticket was not an admission of guilt, stated the court date and said I could call the number for the fine.

It was basically dark and his vehicle was not visible until you passed him at the underpass. It was a dark painted SUV with the words Sheriff on it.

After he gave me the ticket, he drove the wrong way down the highway and right back to the underpass. A week later, on my return trip, I verified signage and location, and sure enough the cop was sitting there again.

I too was ticketed for speeding at mile marker 49 on I95. It was August 15, 2016, and I was slower that many other vehicles that were passing me. I thought the speed was 70 mph and was going with the flow of traffic although I was being passed by many faster cars. I saw the blue lights come on and suddenly the trooper car pulled behind my car instead of the cars that were speeding by me. He said I was doing 83 in a 60. I never saw the 60 mph sign and was not doing 83. He asked why I was going so fast and I said I thought I was going with the flow of traffic and asked why he did not pull over the cars that were speeding by me. He said he couldn't pull over every car. I assumed that I was a target because I have Florida plates because the whole situation didn't make sense. I wanted to go back and see if in fact there had ever been a 60 mph sign because I never saw it and the cars speeding by me did not seem to have noticed it either!

There are a lot of complaints on McIntosh County, Darien, GA. The first thing you need to do is get your attorney to send Open Records Request to the McIntosh County Sheriff's Office and demand copies of the Facebook messages between recently terminated deputy Brandt Gaither and Former deputy and former Darien Police Officer Jeremy Owens. THE MESSAGES ARE IN THE PERSONNEL FILE OF BRANDT GAITHER. The messages are in reference to them betting on how many "niggers" they could stop on the interstate. And, other demeaning messages and jokes about African Americans, including "How do you tell if a black woman is pregnant? Shove a piece of chicken up her vagina!" Attorneys have gotten these messages. Attorney Jason Clark-Brunswick, GA and Luke Moses-Hinesville, GA.

Looks like I am not the only one who got stopped at mile marker 49... the morning of October 18th I was passing thru and saw the road construction, slowed down, then sped back up after I passed thru the construction equipment. I was pulled over, the officer said I was going 79 in a 60, he asked why i was going so fast and asked for my license. He brought me a ticket, told me signing wasn't admitting guilt, pointed out my court date and the number i could call to find out how much my ticket is and how to pay. He then turned and drove the wrong way down the side of the road and back to his spot. The whole thing seemed odd to me, although I hadn't been pulled over in about 5 years and am new to this area.
