This town has nothing in it whatsoever, the only way they can afford to pay bills is by working the Interstate. They are pretty good at it too, its paid for 4 full time cops that make almost $30K a year each, 4 police cars with brand new radars and videocameras in them and lots of other toys. They actually pay thier officers overtime (time and a half!) pay to work solely on the interstate without ever having to go into town. But the catch is to get thier overtime pay the cops have to write a minimum of 5 speeding tickets an hour (CAN YOU SAY QUOTA?!). They have one cop that looks like he is 12 years old who will write you a ticket for 2 miles over the 65mph limit, and sometimes writes 5 or 6 different drivers off of the same radar lock, he just doesnt clear it! This is a town known for its corrupt police, they fired the whole police department for stealing money (except for the one who they kept cause he generates so much money with his illegal tickets!). Its a matter of public record, this town brings in almost $90,000 a month in tickets and warrants from tickets, all on the interstate! Drivers beware!!

I live in this town. We moved here 5 yrs ago and couldnt believe the cops. The townhas only 1300 population and four officers. The only statement i would correct is that the police do not even care about their residents. I have been ticketed for 2 miles over the speed limit IN TOWN! The town is missing speed signs and stop signs which i have also been ticketed for. I guess i was supposed to know there Should be a stop sign there! LOL
