State Highway 44 near Highway 55/Horseshoe Bend Rd

Eagle, Idaho•Jan 23, 2008•1 Comments

I am a daily commuter on State St WB to Eagle Rd SB. Ada County Sheriff patrols this stretch heavily. They do not sit and radar, they are In traffic, usually from HW55 or on State St. (State Street/ HW44) itself. They do not always monitor for speed but monitor Excessively for "agressive driving". I have been pulled over 3 times. I do drive a sports car. The reason given for all 3 times were for not signaling when I make a lane change. I got each dismissed in court because the officers’ language at the time of stop "I am pretty sure you did not use your signal back there" and "I was traveling 80 mph to catch up with you for illegally changing lanes" but when asked if had me on radar, said he did not. It was the same officer twice.

My radar detector has picked up radar, laser, and vascar frequencies.

I've lived in the Eagle area for 10 years and I've found that in all that time cops only use that routine lame excuse of "not using your signals" is at night. You know what they say about "the freaks come out at night". Once the sun goes down , a whole new set of rules go into play. The motto is: pull as many people over as possible for any "trumped-up reason" and maybe, just maybe , he'll get lucky and score a big-ticket item like a DUI, DWP , possession of drugs etc. It's a numbers game and the later at night it gets , the more likely it is they'll pull you over.
