I59 North / right side underpass

Argo, AlabamaJul 03, 20161 Comments

Argo officer was sitting on I59 North side underneath concrete wall on right side of underpass. He pulled me over and stated I was going 91 mph in a 70. I said, I know so was everyone else. He asked for my license/insurance. I asked him what was he doing sitting on the interstate. He told me shooting radar and he will be back in a minute. When he came back of coarse he had a thing ticket in hand, and handed it over and preceded to tell/show me where to send the money first. Then the court date came last. I asked him why he didn’t give me a warning? I had not had anything on my record since 2004. But he didn’t care. So then I ask him what business did a city cop have writing tickets and pulling people over on the interstate? He got huffy and said, well we do and walked off. It was strange cause it plainly states nothing about reckless driving, like everybody else’s. I just don’t want it on my driving record. Anybody got any pointers? I do believe that should not be allowed on the interstate that is why we have county sheriffs and state troopers.

Comments:
Argo is not allowed on the interstate to write speeding tickets thanks to a law passed in Alabama in 1999. And Argo was the main reason that law was passed. If a city in the state has less than 20,000 citizens as of last census then they cannot write speeding tickets on the interstate. Go to court and stipulate an appeal which puts it in circuit court either in Jefferson or St. Clair county depending on where you were stopped. The judge in circuit court will throw the case out.
