VFW Road

Welch, OklahomaNov 08, 20101 Comments

Watch out Kansas travelers! Craig County Deputies spend 24/7 hiding on this road to nab anyone with a Kansas tag that is traveling North headed home. The VFW by the way is not in the City Limits of Welch, however they will write you a fat ticket for you to appear in Traffic Court in Welch. They are writing over $10,000 per month in a town of 300 population. WOW!!

most of road 4440(vfw road) is in the city limits of welch. however,craig co. deputies have jurisdiction inside welch town limits as well as as outside of the town of welch,as long as it is in craig county. it is not uncomman to witness a violation in the town of welch and not get the violator stoped until that person is outside of the town limits,which is perfectly legal. violations on v.f.w. road that is not in welch city limits can be enforced by county deputies and cited to the district court with a state fine the last census has welch's pop. at somewhere a little more than 650 as opposed with 300,...however if it were 300,..650,...or 40,000 does it matter? don't people in a small,farming town deserve the same protection from speeding or otherwise dangerous drivers as ,say,people living in cities that have much higher populations...are their lives,property and that of their loved ones equally as important as other people from other places,...would it be o.k. for welch people to go to other towns and drive through their neighborhoods and business areas in an unsafe manner? as for welch's "kangaroo court" it has a city prosecuter and city judge who are both veteran attorneys from another county,..pretty impartial i would say. also the city court fines are the lowest in the state of oklahoma and when it came up to raise those fine amounts recently,the town board voted that motion down,...even though it would have meant substantially more money for the town.
