Marion Police are a classic example of ‘Selective Enforcement’ and ‘Profiling’. A speeding ticket in Marion is a warning of sloppy driving habits, not speed. This can be used to an advantage. Taking these steps can put you on the good side of the profiling:
1. Any time it is not perfectly clear and sunny, drive with headlights on.
2. Always make heavy use of the turn signal.
3. Drive in the right lane on 4-lane roads. The inside lane is called the ‘Hot Foot lane’
4. Slow down RIGHT NOW any time you see a Marion PD flash their headlights. You have been given a second chance.
5. Actually stop at stop signs.
Many places go by these simple rules.
