This happened near where I live. There was a small bridge under construction in an otherwise unremarkable county where it is common practice to speed 10 over on the highway, so 65 mph actual speed.
They dragged on the construction for more than a year making barely any progress so that they could keep the construction zone open. (2x fines) The bridge was crossing a ravine at the bottom of a hill so they just kept a couple cops parked there every day and pulled over everyone with an out of state license plate all day and the county made millions. Eventually people caught on and sued. Bridge was finished nearly immediately after that.
- zdean 11y agoThis was a problem in Texas, so they passed a law to curb the abuse. The small towns affected got smart and worked around the law anyways: http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-613081 http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-613081
