What is the Speed Trap Capital of The World??? Need a hint? Ok. . . a little hick town with only one working traffic light. Need another hint, ok. A four lane Interstate style highway running through it. Ok, but just one more hint! A little City Hall building by the side of the highway that looks like a condemned building waiting for the wrecking ball to show up, but has several brand new police cars sitting in front of it. GREAT, you guessed it . . . The City of Benton Tennessee, the Speed Trap Capital of the entire world!

The Benton police shoot radar from the parking lot in front of the old City Building and have several chase cars sitting in both ends of town to "run you down." I was cited for doing 51 in a 40 mile per hour four lane Interstate style highway that runs directly through the center of town. The standard ticket price for any out-of-state vehicle is $84.50. The officer did not even ask for my Title, Registration nor any proof of insurance on my truck. He just wanted to give me the ticket, threaten me about paying the ticket, then return immediately to his "chase" position on the way out of town!
My advice, stay out of The City of Benton Tennessee! Buy you gas, food, and anything else you need in any other town except Benton Tennessee! They truly are, the "Speed Trap Capital Of The World!"
