Interstate I-20 Crawfordville, GA near Taliaferro County
Between Atlanta and Augusta,(on I-20 East)is a county, which you will see marked along the highway, as Taliaferro County (pronounced "TAHL-over"). The county seat is Crawfordville, Georgia. County police, not Georgia State Patrol, lurk all along I-20 (at most hours)during the time you are driving through this county. They lurk on overpasses (in brown cars), and along entrance and exit ramps going in both directions, east and west. I have seen them on all recent trips from Atlanta to Augusta and back. I was stopped while traveling in a large group of vehicles, and possibly because I was the only one that slowed down when I saw behind me the flashing blue lights approaching the group of cars. I pulled over as the others sped on. The officer asked for my license and I released my seatbelt to get to my wallet. He then said, "You are not wearing your belt." I explained why, and he said it would be his word against mine in court, and that he would win for sure. I felt that was a bit strange and rude, which led me to believe he really would have chosen any car in the group and blamed it on them.He did have a "superior" attitude. In all fairness I was going over the limit, and so were all the other cars in my "pod". He said he used Laser to catch me. Beware of this long stretch of I-20 East of Atlanta. State patrol is out on I-20 a lot, but these county cops are ALWAYS out!
