Route 19
My husband and I were returning to Pennsylvania from our summer home in South Carolina when stopped by a local cop in the town of Summersville. My husband was told he was going 61 in a 50 MPH zone. He was not going more than 40 MPH. He had just stopped at a red light and was proceeding to the next light which was red. He saw 2 policemen sitting at the side of the road chatting and laughing when one got in his car and pulled up behind us with his lights flashing. The ticket was $117 which I understand is the standard "toll" for out of state drivers. My husband is to appear at traffic court in a month. He is seriously thinking of driving the 212 miles to fight this ticket because he is sure they assume no one will appear. It will be worth the gas money to fight these bozos. This is nothing but extortion. To date I have emailed the West Va. Governor, state senators, Sommersville mayor and police chief, and every news outlet I can think of to expose these crooks. Please join me in this effort and lets make our voices heard.
