state parks
This is related to a speedtrap report filed on Grant, Al, a bedroom city. State Conservation employees are stopping traffic and writing tickets well outside their assigned job sites at state parks in the area, many times using older unmarked vehicles. Customarily, they are asked by regular officer for assistance only in rare cases for backup and are expected to enforce traffic in state parks only. They imply they clock you on radar but state troopers say they are not issued radar equipment. Troopers also will only comment,"they are not state troopers" when asked about their actions. In the recent past, some confrontations have resulted with an unarmed motorist being shot to death in the next County.
I was written a ticket for doing 62 in a 50 MPH zone when I haad just made a 90 degree turn and had a witness. I was told I was clocked on radar when in fact the Conservation Officers don’t have them. Detailed reports of this have been filed with the Dept of Conservation, State Troopers and area news media.
