Local Police in Cottondale Police cruiser pulled me over as I was headed north on US 231 towards Dothan, Alabama. I was given citation for going 57 mph in a 45 mph zone. I applied brakes when I saw the 45 mph speed limit sign. I was in heavy traffic (Memorial Day traffic) so I did not suddenly apply brakes as that I did not want to cause an accident. The officer turned around suddenly and I was shocked that he was after me. He was as rude as any law enforcement officer I have ever encountered. He did not say ten words to me just cited me. When I attempted to as a question he rudely said all I needed to know was on the back side of the ticket. He then abruptly left without another word. I am used to dealing with the Dothan, Alabama police and Cottondale, Florida officers could take a few lessons from these officers. Very rude behavior; not impressed.
