Loop 610 near Reliant Stadium

Tow cops run the trap. One is running radar and the other is waiting to pull out and get you. Look for this trap the last week of any month on both sides of the 601 Loop near the Astrodome

Yeah, I got pulled over by the two-man crew, two black guys. The pursuit vehicle came in my sight as I peaked the overpass over Kirby and 610 East. He was about 1/2 mile away. I instantly checked my speed, never applying the break and breathed a sigh of relief, as I was actually traveling 60 in a 60. I did happen to be in the left-most lane (bad place to be), when an Acura SUV passed me on the right, doing at least 70. He never hit the break either. So when the cop pulled out, I figured he was going after the SUV. I was surprised when it was I that got pulled over and written up for 72. I argued that he had to have seen the SUV zip passed me. His buddy pulled up behind him. My guess is that he photographed my plate and gave it to the pursuit vehicle. The police officer gave me a ticket and told me, "go to hell." Truth! 3 years earlier, I was pulled over just east of that location while doing 60 in a 60. I was written up for 80 in a 60. He never showed up in court.
