I was also pulled over in this town while taking my family on vacation. I'll be the first to admit, according to the signs I was speeding. 60 in a 50. I'll pay my ticket and be done with it. The problem is that, according to Wikipedia, Estelline, TX is the number two speed trap in the state! Michael Warren, the only cop for this massive city of 155 people which covers a whopping 0.7 acres didn't even have the decency to look me in the eyes and mumbled when he told me about the infraction before he handed me the ticket he had already written out before he even got to my window!

I'm all for following the law, but it should be illegal for the sherriff in this one horse town to sit around all day giving tickets to passersby that will be in and out of his town in less than 60 seconds. Endangering the safety of others by speeding is one thing, but this is clearly a case of a town sherriff using the highways to line his city's pockets.

When I tried to plead my way out of it he said, "What if this had been a school zone?". Well in that case I bet their signs would have been a little better and they would have given motorists a little more space to slow down. And I looked it up. The town doesn't even have a school! They had to integrate with another town's school district! Phaww!

I am usually a supporter of law enforcement, but I don't know how this man sleeps at night!
