State Highway 46 near Hemlock Road

Local Officer sits just East or just West of Hemlock Village, yards from increased speed limit signs. Really likes to impound car if no proof of insurance is available in vehicle. Will write ticket for 10 over before the increased speed sign.

My mother recently moved to Hemlock, and I had never been there before. After going an hour out of the way in the wrong direction, I got back on track and set my cruise control to just under 55, so I could keep an eye on the road for landmarks. At this point my 3 month old daughter was sick of being in her car seat and started crying, which caused my 2 year old daughter to start crying that she wanted out to eat. Mcdonalds was just ahead and on my list of landmarks, so I pulled in to get her a yogurt. I noticed an officer behind me when his lights on, pointing for me to park, so I did. I was confused, I had no idea what I was being pulled over for. Turns out I was speeding, he asked me if I knew it was only 30, or if I saw him parked. When I left I kept an eye out for the speed signs, and realized that it was a speed trap. I got a ticket for 23 over, and I am not even sure if my speed was docked after it really did change to 30. I've had two previous speeding tickets before I became a parent and was irresponsible. I would never intentionally break the law with or without my kids in the car, or ever do something that would put them in harms way. Sorry about the long story, I am just wondering if anyone else has received a ticket for speeding before actually hitting the 30mph zone, and if anyone has some advice about this? I sent the ticket in without signing or checking an option, with the explanation, but nowhere in it did I admit to being guilty.
