Virginia Street
The Charleston city police use at least 2 vehicles, and sometimes a motorcycle, to run a speed trap on Virginia Street, just off the I-64 exit. After coming off the interstate exit ramp, they park on the side of the road near the Wendy’s, and ticket cars going over 30mph on a three-lane street. One cop usually uses Ka-band, and the other uses a laser gun, and they seem to be able to write at least 2-tickets every five minutes. And they’ve learned a trick from the Summersville P.D – when you go to pay your ticket, they offer you the opportunity to pay 92-dollars to go to a one-hour "traffic school, after which your ticket will cease to exist. Of course, they get the entire 92-dollars that way, and don’t have to give the state a cut.
