US Highway 45 near County Trunk K

Norway, WisconsinMar 27, 20063 Comments

This trap is in the unincorporated township of New Cape, Wisconsin on U.S. Highway 45. It may not even qualify as a township as it is not even listed as a Wisconsin community at city-data.com for the state of Wisconsin. Tickets are administered by the Town of Norway Municipal Court in Wind Lake, WI, a different community altogether several miles away. Within a mile stretch running through this so-called community the speed limit goes from 45mph to 35mph to 45mph to 55mph, literally within a mile stretch. The trap is set up to clock you either decelerating when entering into the 35mph zone or accelerating from the 35 mph zone into the 45mph zone. The length of time it takes to travel between these zones is literally less than twenty seconds, but if you’re over for even one of those seconds, they’ve got you for speeding.

They make a lot of money on this stretch of road. I have heard that the township has hired "constables" who are working on commission, so they make money on every poor sap they put over. I live near this area and the police always have cars pulled over.

I got snagged in this trap about a year ago. What a scam. The judge who hears the case is a total nut, and babbles on like an idiot about anything and everything. I argued the fine and how it was a total speed trap, and the judge and severely overweight D.A. both were smug and pompous to everyone. If ever I hope for anyone to die in a fire, it's these two stooges. Not impressed with their scam. :(

Judge Doug Pachucki is a typical jp. doesn't listen, doesn't remember and rules against everyone. He hear 52 to 56 cases every Tuesday evening between 6 and 8 pm. I've watched him twice and everyone is found guilty, no exception.
