In early January of 2017 I received a speeding ticket while driving through Ferriday. I was driving through the middle of town at 12:00 noon and the traffic was probably moderate to heavy for this small town. There were cars in front of me and behind me. I was observing the speed limit. I was stopped by a policeman who told me that I was driving 57 mph in a 45 mph zone. I tried to tell the officer that I was not speeding but he would have no part of it. the cars ahead of me were not stopped. I travel through this area frequently and know it to be a speed trap that is why I was extra cautious. I have paid the ticket, it will not go on my record.
