Old Springville Road

Argo, AlabamaJun 22, 20062 Comments

My family and I were coming home from a baseball game when we were pulled over by an Argo police officer. We were speeding but only by 3mph it was a 45 and we were going 48 this paticular police officer was sitting in a driveway of a home couldn’t see him from the road and again it was 3mph.

Comments:
Actually, the speed limit there is 40. And it is not a speed trap. People are usually going 50 to 60 MPH. With Elementary age children living and playing on that stretch of road 48 is too fast.

I wanted to inform you the unnecessary force of 10 officers with Guns drawn and did not present a warrant prior to entering a house with minor children present in Springville, by ARGO Police Officers. two days later the same police officer whom had no reason to pull a Black male over other than harassment again utilized excessive force, conducted an illegal search and on b9oth occasions failed to read the individual their Miranda Rights. Subsequently there were not motor vehicle changes listed for the individual when the City Police impounded a Car on private property. There is video of this excessive force. The town is not only a speed trap but unfairly targeting Black and Minority persons.
