State Highway 71 Through Town.
Very well described in a post of 6/2/08 (see below). Nothing has changed. I was clocked at 56 in a 35, though I was in the 45 zone at the time. We shall see how this one plays out. I was told by the clerk/phone answering persona, that the price has not changed. They still want $133.50 for the tour of the town.
“Very deceptive manner in which they trap you. Speed limit drops from 55MPH to 35MPH in a very short distance. Not enough time to safely slow down and in my opinion, radar was shot even before getting to the 35MPH sign….”

In August 2009, I was coming back from Bunkie, and I had to go through Cheneyville. The posted speed was 45. The officer clocked me at 47 and said it was in a 35--when it was in a 45. (My cruise control was on and set by the time I reached the curve in the road.) He had me and another person pulled over. I was on Hwy 71 as I live off of 71, so I know the route. He said that he gave me the ticket solely because of my attitude and that I was stopped for a warning. I asked him to show me where he clocked me at, and he laughed it off. I called back the next day or so, and he admitted that he gave it to me because of my attitude. He told me that I could write a letter asking for assistance and that he wasn't supposed to tell me that information. He then proceeded to ask me if I had a man, and I said,, "No, but I have a woman." That definitely was a speed trap, and I will confirm it as I was tapped into it as well. You honestly don't have enough time to slow down without slamming on the brakes because at the start of the curve it's 45 but towards the middle to end when a cop is usually sitting to the left and is close to enough to use the radar, the speed is suddenly 35. I'm still fighting with this ticket.
