Near TX Motor Speedway on I-35

Northlake, TexasOct 04, 20120 Comments

I commute to school and take this road daily, and I see the Northlake PD with people on the side of the road daily. I personally have been pulled over twice and ticketed twice by them. Once was at night I was given SIX citations! I was ticketed for speeds beyond reason (8 miles over…), tailgating, failure to signal, failure to yield to an emergency vehicle (I pulled to the left instead of the right…I was 17 at the time and this was the first time i had been pulled over!), expired insurance (even though in the time he went to write the ticket and the time he came back I had found my most recent card), and WINDOW TINT VIOLATION! apparently my back window, which came with my truck, was too dark. It was ridiculous. I couldn’t believe a cop gave a 17 year old girl with no previous issues 6 tickets! I went to the courthouse, which is just a portable in the middle of no where, and the woman even thought it was ridiculous so she excused 3 and let me do defensive driving for one and defer to adjudication for one so only one ticket went to my record. But it was pricey to pay for all of it! Then i was pulled over recently for apparently not having my seat belt on, which i did, but I already knew with my previous Northlake PD experience there was no use arguing. This is a private police force and not funded municipally so they ticket EVERYTHING! be very careful on this stretch of I-35
