New Rome? I got a ticket for a dusty tail light. No Joke. A dusty tail light. And of course they know you're not going to go all the way back to contest it.
If people are genuinely speeding, I have no problem with any town cracking down on it with heavy ticketing. But there are some places that are wayyyy over the line.
We have a winner! Try Googling it and you can get the complete picture of just how bad it was. We moved away before things got really horrible, but kept in touch with friends who were still there. The police would ask where you worked when you got a ticket, and then come and harass you at work, among other things. They got away with things because the community was small, which exempted them from a lot of checks and balances. Those of us that lived there would usually go out of our way to take back streets that were under other jurisdictions, but people passing through or who had legitimate business in town often didn’t have a choice. It’s one really deep rabbit hole, but you might not feel so bad about the dusty taillight when you’re finished.
