U.S. Highway 75 North

Calera, OklahomaDec 28, 20094 Comments

I was coming into the city of Calera on U.S. Highway 75 North when I was being trailed by a camouflaged car with its lights on. Mind you my cruise had been set on 65 mph since coming from Sherman Texas. The cop followed for about four minutes before he pulled me over to say, “Ma’am my partner clocked you going 82 in a 70.” The funny thing is that if I was going 82 and I had two cars in front of me supposedly going the right speed why didn’t I run them over or pass them? And, because his good friend would not come and show me the scanner saying I was speeding, I am stuck with $360.00 worth of fines. How is that for some nice easy pocket change for that small city. The casino and Durant hospital (where I was going to) is right there so the town makes its money from trapping cars from out of state as a forceful method to get money. All three cars that I saw pulled over behind me had Texas tags.

Absolutely a speed trap and so is the other small town right next to it. Another one to the East, Achille, is even worse. Suckers are running out of money and they are out for blood.

It is a radar detector not a scanner and by law they do not have to show it to you. The officer dose not even need to lock in the speed to wright the citation

I personnely know the assistant chief of police in Calera, Ok and he has always been a bully (previous writer called him combative which would be accurate). Calera is definistely a speed trap and they tak great pride making their revenue. You'l typically find them lurking on the north end of town by the Bar-B-Que restaurant to catch south bound travelers. The idiot highway department cut the town in half with the freeway and no safe place for local drivers to cross from east to west without the interstate. Their has been a lot of fatality accidents in Calera because of the highway department and no plans to put a bypass around the city.

The speed Drops from 70 to 65 just as you get into town. then it drops again to 55. Just befor you get to the Stoplight's. I can get in my car and put my cruise 70 then drop it to 65 then 55 going north as you say you was. And the whole time i have cars passing me as if i was parked on the side of the road. To many pepole dont do the speed limit. And im sure you was one of them.
