In my opinion, I believe I was shot with radar on the downhill area just before the speed limit actually switches from 45 to 35. My opinion is that the officer, hiding with a motorcycle on a side road, shot the radar gun while I was probably still in a 45 zone and wrote it up as if I was at the higher speed when I got to the 35 speed limit zone. He was right near the switch of the speed zones. The reason I posted this is that I had actually looked at my speed on the downhill when I saw the posted changes from 45 to 35 and I do believe I was only around 3-5 miles over the 35 after the zone change. I told the officer, but he had it on the radar gun. I felt I knew right away what that meant, so I feel he could have wrote me for 3-5 plus in the 45 or 3-5 plus in the 35, and that would have been fair. In my opinion he did not use the proper gap, writing me for the speed over in the 45 as if I was in the 35 zone at that same speed. My opinion is he was running an unfair speed trap. My opinion is the City must be after funds from tourists or gamblers to do things this way. I had decided to take a tour of Fort Verde (a disappointment). I suggest avoiding Camp Verde altogether except for seeing the Castle or the Casino, after checking out the town, so you’d best drive 5 miles per hour under the speed limit while you are in this area to avoid being trapped (I stayed below the speed limits for the rest of my vacation after this one). You may want to only stick to the 17 exit areas and the Castle. My opinion is it isn’t worth driving into the town and there really is not much you can do to avoid this type of "speed trap".
