St.highway 340(n-s) and 211(e-w)

There are several in this town. On 211 west, State Police are constant. One trooper in particular is known to harass anyone who is not "young,Blonde, Female." The local town police will also pull over out of state cars, they will check tinted window levels even though they are light. They are also very hard on young drivers. This town has a zero tolerance level. They will sit at areas where there is a sudden 10 mile drop in the speed limit. There seem to be way too many police on the force for such a small town. Guess their excessive ticketing is a way to pay all the officers. It is a beautiful area and relies highly on tourist traffic, so it is a shame that something is not done to straighten this areas law enforcement out before the reputation of the town and county is totally ruined.

This is a town that literally bites the hand that feeds it and has for many years. This town begs for tourist dollars, yet literally harasses and bullies those very same people that help the area sustain itself. They will go after high schoolers, and college kids since this is a popular route for the kids to take. I won't spend a dollar in Luray and advise others to do the same. Vote with your wallet and tell the local businesses why you won't be patronizing them due to overactive police and zealous enforcement. They'll get the message and honestly judging by the sad state Luray is in these days, it looks like most people have already gotten the word.
