He's also ignoring the subject and sticking to his simple view.

The abrupt CHANGE in the speed limits while trying to travel through Oklahoma are the problem, and leave the door open to creating a speed trap... particularly when a small town has little else going for it economically.

You don't think towns and cities should have a right to regulate how fast they want people driving in their districts?

A town should be able regulate how fast people can drive on their streets.

The way Im reading the press release, the "former" speed trap towns can now resume collecting revenue until they are again designated speed traps.
...Just our legislature slapping OHP around for messin with the good old boys.

We had a big speed trap in Ohio, in a town called New Rome. The state finally shut it down. This town was very crooked and cops would bust your tail light and give you ticket for a broken tail light and things like that. The town had 60 residents and 15 cops, It was 3 blocks ling and 2 blocks deep on highway 40, just west of Columbus, Ohio. It was listed near the top of many national speed trap web sites. They now have a web site about it after the state shut it down. The sad part is the town was crooked for 30 plus years before it was shut down by the state. Check out the web site and click around and read the stories from people who got nailed by the New Rome cops. www.newromesucks.com

Our state leaders undermined months of work by the OHP to let some parasites cash in on the Memorial Day turkey shoot.  
How is that a good thing?
