US Highway 319 near Swifty Mart

Omega, GeorgiaOct 06, 20061 Comments

Jurisdiction drives black cars and hides on unlit shoulder by roadway after dusk. Traveling southbound on US319 into town you will reach a small rise. As you crest the rise a sign says Speed enforced by detection devises. In 100 feet another sign posts 45 miles per hour down from 55. Typically a warning sign is posted advising speed zone ahead. This is not the case here and drivers do not have sufficient time to adjust their speed after seeing the 45 MPH sign so local Omega, GA police officers harvest revenue from out-of-towners. The officer will sometimes cite the alleged offender with "too fast for conditions" instead of "speeding" so the munincipality doesn’t get in trouble for being a speed trap.

Very similar story. Except was told I must pay a "cash bond" or go to jail due to me being from out of state. Cop expected me to be canadian and was shocked to learn im from Cali. Total b.s and looks so bad for this community. Be Carefull, it's all about profit generation in Omega.
