I-40 near Shamrock TX
I took a road trip with my family from Arizona to St Louis. We rented a minivan with NY PLATES. 2014 Town and country. I had the digital speedometer set at 78 MPH in a 75 MPH speed limit. I fully admit i was pushing the limit there.
I was pulled over by a deputy (it was around 2-3 in the afternoon) who claimed is was traveling at 84 MPH. I should note that i had not passed anyone for miles and was traveling behind several big rigs. The Deputy proceed to check my licence and rental agreement and printed a ticket for me. claiming that if i was going one MPH faster it would have been a jail able offense. He told me if i wanted to dispute the ticket i would have to return to Texas and appear. But also put up a Bond with in 30 days to secure my court date.
Once the deputy had issued me my ticket, we had pulled over on a dirt shoulder for about 15 20 minutes.
I left the scene and we passed the same deputy issuing a ticket to another vehicle with Florida Plates.
we drove for a about another 30 miles and stopped for gas and coffee, after about a 20 minute stop. we got back on the I-40 and about a mile after the on ramp we say the same deputy in a Dodge Charger Issuing tickets to a vehicle with California plates.
This is my experience….. I have not made any assumptions but have only reported facts….
Please be wary of this area, if you have out of state plates.
