Officer waits a few hundred feet east of the tiny town of Mason. Two 40 mph speed limit signs are on the side of the road approaching Mason, but are very easy to miss. This is a HUGE racket. The night I went to pay my ticket, there were about 80 other people there paying their tickets. They emphasize the ticket won’t be reported to the State and won’t go on your insurance. What a nice deal that the tiny town of Mason gets to keep all that money. What they do with it, I have no idea, since their “traffic court” is in a small, cluttered building that is basically a shack. They order you around like cattle when you come to pay your fine. If you take the chance of defending yourself in this “kangaroo court”, and you lose, your fine WILL go on your driver’s record. Double jeopardy.
The officer gave me a ticket for 11 miles over. I told him I was a court reporter after he wrote the ticket, and he rolled his eyes and said he wished he had known that earlier. He admitted my speed was endangering no one but myself. This whole operation should be shut down. Totally disgusting.
