This sounds a lot like the typical small town where they try to make up for lost tax revenue by aggressive policing. One town I'll remember to never go I guess, not that I'd probably ever go there anyways.
There was an old Rockford Files episode called Pastoria Prime Pick, where a small Calforinia town was growing economically by mixing small real and manufacturing/setting-up people with big crimes in order to either solicit bribes for lower crimes and take in huge fines.
- MisterBastahrd 5y agoFrom my personal experience, Golden Meadow in Louisiana is exactly that sort of speed trap. Those cops will absolutely pull you over for doing 1 over the speed limit even though the limit for the area is unnaturally low for the stretch of highway they police. So is Boutte, but only between the Walmart and Dominoes on Highway 90... that'd be the blackest section of the local community, which is essentially the color of every person you'll ever see pulled over in that area, despite it being a busy part of the highway.
- vgeek 5y agoThey have to get the out of towners going to Grand Isle?
- MisterBastahrd 5y agoYeah. Apparently it's been a thing for a very long time. I haven't been down there in forever, but apparently their plan is to raise Highway 1 and charge tolls instead.
