New Rome Has been a speed trap on the west side of Columbus for years. I have personally had (3) tickets there One for going left of center according to the so called Police Officer (1) for making a rolling stop while the police officer was hiding behind a dumpster with all his lights out. and just recently I was pulled over for get this being too close to the curb and for not wearing my seatbelt. they always look for secondary reasons to give you a ticket. (2) times I have fought there charges after being found guilty in there Mayors Court, having them transferred to a Franklin County court where in both cases the officer who stopped me never showed. The reason is simple they lose the money if Iam found guilty in so whats the point! my fines you ask well they were quite High as expected my no seat belt ticket was 10 dollars higher than average at 60.00 instead of 50 and the fine for not carrying my liscense on me was 83.00 dollars. they do anything and everything to get you stopped and look for petty reasons to give you a ticket! avoid this section of Columbus if at all possible they will be waiting for you, so Beware!!!!!
