The reduced speed limit signs along Dewitt Street (Business 51) coming off the Interstate are poorly marked and go from 65 MPH to 35 MPH within seconds. I was stopped under these circumstances, at bar closing time. The field training officer and his trainee gave me a written warning for the speeding but then asked me if I would mind doing a field sobriety test. I told him I did mind because I don’t drink. I was immediately allowed to leave but clearly they were on a "fishing expedition." The local cops sit all along Business 51 which runs through the entire city. I see cars pulled over all the time along this road.
