Texas Hwy 67

Keene, TexasApr 17, 20105 Comments

Oh yes, Keene is a speed trap town. Going east the speed limit drops to 50 for no apparant or necessary reason. And Keene is the beginning of what I call the ‘gauntlet’ from Keene throug Midlothian on TX 67. Aggresive local police and Texas state troopers. Nobody speeds there!

This is not dukes of hazzard. The cops don't lower the speed limit when you drive into it and then put it back before you get out. The state sets the speed and the police, sheriff, DPS just enforce it. If you have an accident because someone was going too fast you will complain that the cops weren't out doing there job. The only people who complain are the ones who are trying to beat the system. Pay attention and drive whatever the speed sign says and you will never have a problem

Yes Keene is a speed trap. Going east from Cleburne and had just hit resume on my cruise control. Topped a hill and bam. 50mph sign with a cop parked right by it. I had no time to see and react to the sign. 65 in a 50. First ticket in 16 years. My driving record did not matter. She wrote me a ticket without even asking me why I was speeding. Thing is I don't speed on purpose. That's why I use cruise control. Stay away from this town and highway 67.

Cops in Keene get a bonus for writing tickets. It is called "Step Pay", check the records. It got posted on Facebook even!

The cop with a notorious reputation patrolling through Keene as I understand it from locals while I stay here to work the oil fields is he does not allow for much error. I look at it as if you do not do the speed limit then you should be rewarded by being stopped, but everybody with common sense knows that if you do the speed limit posted you are rewarded by not being stopped. Look, I do not like getting a ticket either but I see it as my family drives on these very roads we are complaining about so our answer is by complaining about the very officers that we hire to keep us from driving to fast that can cause us to have accidents that can hurt the very family members of mine, yours, etc... that drive on these roads. I see it as if we were to all do the speed limits posted by the very legislature we voted for to trickle down speed limits for our roads posted by TxDOT then these officers would not have anything else to do but patrol other places, therefore we would not be wasting our times writing about how this city is a speed trap and that city is a speed trap. So you see, we are the very ones that causes this in the first place by our speeding so our way getting it out of our system is creating this website so we can blame the very people that we put out there to protect/keep us safe, I'm sorry but I do not get it? All I know is I see where these warriors, heroes deal with our rough society on a daily basis then we expect them to allow us to speed to crash to hurt others do to our always being in a hurry, then maybe we should get up earlier to be on time to work so we do not have to speed. I guess I will know what the ones who have been ticketed fell like once old red eye stops me for speeding then hands me a ticket due to my driving to fast or then maybe I'll just thank him for his service because he risks his life for mine, my family's for the measly amount we pay them to risk thier lifes everyday to see to our safety. I don't know what do you think? Be safe out there officers! Thank you for your service officers! Thank you for always keeping our lifes safe so we can live another day to spend with our families, you are special people to endure the massive whiners that think they are more special than others so they put you down on a website like this to make them feel better or think it will stop you from doing the very job they hired you to do. So if I am speeding please correct me so I do not wreck causing any person to be hurt or injured where I have to live with that guilt and again thank you for your service!
