My mother lives in this glorified trailer park addition and every one of us have gotten tickets going to visit her. Every one of her family members. I got a ticket for no insurance when it was expired by four days, and was pulled over for not turning my blinker on when coming into the division off the highway. The cop was not even pulled around the corner when I was turning into the division and it wasn't his jurisdiction to begin with. He had to speed to catch up with me and ended up pulling me over right in front of my mother's house wich is two blocks away from where he said I violated the law. He decided to pull me over after I had already gotten out of his sight. He even checked my husband's license who was just a passenger in an attempt to catch him at something and be able to write another ticket.
What upsets me most is that the ticket for no insurance is $310, which is more than tickets for possesion of drug paraphenelia and giving alcohol to minors. It is the most expenseive ticket on the list except for a minor driving under the influence.
I feel this is a misapproptiation of resouces, in such a crime infested area they could focus on real criminals istead of harassing people who are only guilty of having the money to pay them.
