Fort Sumner is a “village” of around 1000 residents and you have to use Highway 60 to travel East and West. As you drive thru the center of town the speed limit drops to 25 mph. There is a school zone posted speed of 15 mph, which is not marked very well. I drove thru at 3:40 in the afternoon and did not see any students in the general area. As I pulled away after a green light I noticed the other cars to my left going abnormally slow and looked for a slow ped or maybe a dog or emergency vehicle. It looked clear to me, but as I accelerated a Fort Sumner Police SUV immediately pulled me over claiming that I had violated the law and exceeded the speed limit in a school zone. Officer Steele said I could appear in court (I live 800 miles away) or admit “my guilt” and pay a fine of $161.00 within 30 days ! The local police obviously wait for unsuspecting out of state motorist to drive over 15 mph on a major road of travel and ticket them in order to fill the tiny city’s coffers. I feel victimized.
