Yes, this is DEFINATELY a speedtrap. The F'er got me going 78 in what I thought was a 70, but as it turns out the corrupt little town of Opelousas that used to FEED on people before 49 opened up must have had it lowered to 65mph there. I called the prosecutor when I got back to my state of residence and got it reduced to a non-moving violation for a discounted fine. Still pisses me off that we have to suffer such tyranny and theft.

I got one about the same place but heading north on 49. I am U. S. Army and was heading to Fort Polk. I was in my Pickup truck with 8 empty M-16 weapons racks. I was in Uniform and I had my Major with me. I was doing 78 and at the time it was a 70 zone. I was coming over a short hill and they had a Washington parish police that pulled me over. To me 8 miles over is not life or death. I just think he could have issued a warning.
