Uniontown, Alabama Speed Traps

After reading the other on this site, I found that my story is identical. The officer claimed I was doing 70 in a 55 mph zone. The highway had been 65. I am a cruise driver so I do not speed. I live in a small town that has traffic almost stop when you go through, with a 35 mph limit, so I had already hit my brakes to take off the cruise before nearing any buildings. I never saw the reported 55 mph, as well as my husband. I have been driving for 55 years and have never received a speeding ticket. Such a shame for Alabama that this town is so devious. Just because you are from out of state doesn’t mean you can afford their $235 ticket, plus $10.38 processing fee. I am just praying this doesn’t make my insurance go up as well.

From out of state, Was in the 65 mph zone coming up a slight hill. When reaching the top, I was coasting down and speed was dropping. Officer coming towards me (later states I was going 75). Officer said the posted speed was 55 which when he turned lights on, I was still in the 65 mph area. When he turn around to get behind me, he had turned his lights off again and then turned them back on when I reached the 55mph stretch. Ticket for 20 over which is a total lie…but out of state so how can I fight it and win. First ticket in over 10 years which was not for speeding. I don’t speed, I get teased for going speed limit or slightly under all the time… so I know its all BS.

Heading out of town where speed increased to 50 mph in unmarked black SUV driving slower the posted sign. I flashed highbeams n honk around 1:30PM cause he was impede traffic. So he slow to 40 mph….
Then turn on police lights to pull me over n cite me for following too close while taking no responsibility for his impeding behavior. Imagine that! Didn’t he swore to something?
He failed his duty!

I just hesitantly paid the bogus $235 ticket for “speeding” in Uniontown, AL. I absolutely was not speeding. I was doing about 52 in a 55 zone. The cop was coming the opposite way. I was following another car that was local. I’m an out of stater. He turns around and pulls me over, saying I was going 70. Absolute lie! They were pulling over other cars too. This is a total racket. I was going to go fight the ticket, but realizing the whole situation, I knew I had no chance of winning in a corrupt welfare town like this. The only thing I can do is avoid this town entirely, and let everybody know they should avoid this town. Let it rot on its own.

I received a ticket the day after Thanksgiving for supposedly doing 55 in a 35. It was dark. I may have been over the limit but definitely not 20mph over! The officer was traveling east and I was traveling west. After passing me he turned around and pulled me over at the first light coming into town. I have my doubts that radar was even used. Officer was rude and one officer in a black “police” t-shirt was actually dancing behind my car. Shame on you, Uniontown and officer. Shame on you. This scam needs to be shut down. As one other person said, he probably saw my out of state tag and thought “cha-ching”. It’s a good thing Uniontown funds their city with tickets and not tourism because I will never pass through again. Enjoy that $235, you won’t get another dime from me.
