Rt. 817 near Woodbend Cove entrance & Winfield Middle School
Winfield City Police hide behind the commercial property’s masonry entrance structure that includes decorative bushes that further assists in hiding the police vehicle from plain sight from either direction. The commercial property I am referring to is along State Rt. 817 (Northbound) just prior to the Woodbend Cove entrance, both of which located across Rt. 817 from the Winfield Middle School.
It’s been my understanding that this type of entrapment had been banned or outlawed many years ago and that police were to park themselves in a way that resulted in an unobstructed view while seeking speeding violators. I plan to research further the law in WV pertaining to police entrapment regarding the hiding of their vehicle while attempting to serve their citations.
