Interstate 10 near Interstate 10
Trooper will park on the 18 mile bridge (in shoulder) and will open his trunk. Motorists think that it is a broken vehicle when in fact it is the trooper hiding behind the open trunk with the radar to get you. Try to do the speed limit there although 90% drive way over the 60 MPH limit posted anyways.

Recently I was traveling on the 18 mile bridge in La. on I-10 and noticed a state trooper on one of the access roads. He came up on the bridge with his lights on. I was traveling in the inside lane with vehicles in front, in back and on my right hand side. He stayed in the inside lane, so I thought he was wanting to pass and moved over into he left hand side. He pulled into the lane behind me, but since I wasn't speeding I didn't stop. He pulled along side me and motioned for me to pull over, which I did. He got out and came up to the window and said that I had been clocked doing 81 mph. I immediately, with a raised voice repeated 81, I never drive 81mph. and have been watching my speed and haven't gotten over 72 mph and that was in a 70 mph. zone. He said, "that I had been picked out of a group of vehicles that was probably going 77 or 78 mph by an airplane that was hovering and making circles over I-10 and they had radioed to him describing the vehicle and told him which one to stop. I got a ticket, cost me $199.00. Have I mentioned that I am a woman, 77yrs young, traveling out of state alone with a Yorkie dog. Did I look like a sitting duck. What about those other vehicles that I was suppose to traveling along with. If we all were doing 77 or 78 mph. Why was I the only one stopped? And if we were doing 77 or 78 mph. Why did he say I was doing 81. Was it because if I was over speed by another 10 miles, the cost would be higher? He said that I could contest it but I would have had to travel 200miles two ways and it would have been my word against his. And that didn't sound like I would have had much chance. By the way it was the end of the month. Did they have a quota to meet?
