Dyer, Tennessee Speed Traps
US 45W Bypass around Dyer
The local Dyer police hide everywhere and anywhere. No radar or similar, the officer just gives his estimate of your speed. I went to the city court for 37 in a 25 (guilty but extenuating circumstances that didn’t matter to the officer or the court) and there were over 40 people in a back room of City Hall for the same by the same officer. It seems everyone does 37 in a 25 and all the cases I saw were handled by paying court costs of almost $100 with nothing added to your driving record.
Highway 45 Bypass just north of Thompson Lane.
Dyer police sit in the median just north of Thompson Lane on the Highway 45 bypass in a spot difficult to see until you are upon them and prey upon unsuspecting north and south bound travelers. Seems like there is enough crime in Dyer that the police would have their hands full without harvesting money from travelers in a location on the bypass nowhere near the city.
