Officer was sitting with radar. He observed me driving slightly off the pavement onto the shoulder to go around a dump truck. I came to a complete stop, started around the truck, and the officer pulled me over, gave me a ticket for running off the pavement. He gave me a ticket for passing on/driving on shoulder, cost $178 plus $52 court costs, which was very excessive for a minor offense. I feel that in a town of 331 people, four police cars parked in the police lot, not being used, plus those on patrol. It is obvious that this little town uses it’s police force to generate funds from unsuspecting motorists from out of town. This town of Foristell intersects with I-70, which is the main speed trap for tourists and truckers.
