Police have unmarked cars and sit in parking spaces and stop cars and trucks for doing two to three miles over posted speed limit.Speedometers aren’t calibrated like radar units,therefore speeds differ from radar units

Comments:
The cops in Salley and Perry have stationed themselves outside their respective jurisdictions. This makes the tickets illegal. The only way it is legal is when the vehicles meet head on. Then they charge you for " Careless Driving" which first of all is illegal it is a Town Code not a state law. The reason they do this is that more money goes to the town. They are ordered by the mayor to do this all you have to do is go to court and ask for a jury trial. The jury is going to know that the cop was out of his jurisdiction and dismiss charges or a finding of not guilty. This is a better way to save points then pay $500.00 or more. These are real speedtraps and must be STOPPED. The towns need to be fined for this outrageous behavior.
