On Gratiot Just south of Hall Rd. (M-59)
I was heading south on Gratiot in my classic car (63 Nova) to attend the car cruise in Mt. Clemens. I got stuck behind a vehicle in the fast lane doing about 30mph in the 45 zone. I sped up a little to go past him in the outside lane, but not enough to exceed the speed limit. Suddenly I noticed red & blue flashers in my mirror, a Macomb County Sherrif car! Where he was hiding, I don’t know. My wife and I both have a pretty good eye for spotting cops hiding on the roadway, but neither of us saw this one. He said that he got me doing 59mph in the 45 zone. An absolute lie! I never got anywhere near 60. And when I went to ask him a question he just ignored me, turned and walked away to go write his trophy ticket.(actually they don’t even have to write now, the computer does it for him) This was only my second ticket in almost 30 years. Are the cops running blocker cars now in speed traps?
I have been a contributer and supporter of the Michigan Sherrif’s Association for many years. That’s going to STOP!
