A strict observance of the speed limit through this town is certainly no guarantee that you will not get a ticket for speeding. On 11-14-03 my wife and I were traveling from Florida (with Palm Beach Florida license plates) heading north on I-95 passing through Emporia Virginia(she was driving). We saw the sign that reduced the speed limit from 65 to 55 and slowed down accordingly. Within 1 mile of entering Emporia we were pulled over by an officer that claimed she was doing 70mph in a 55 mph zone. We know for a fact that she was not. I respectfully tried to question the officer regarding the circumstances of his false allegation. These attempts were met with the contemptuous reply. "I am a trained professional don’t question me"! After 25 years of driving like the egg lady my wife received her very first ticket for a contrived offense at the hands of a dishonest member of the Emporia police dept. The citizens of Emporia Virginia should be so proud of a Police Department that sits on the side of the road and does with an ink pen what Jesse James and his gang used to need a six gun for! Robbery, no matter what the instrument of intimidation is Robbery just the same. Sign us "Disgusted in Florida"
