re: Small Alabama town draws drivers into “legal black hole.”

I live in one of the towns that make up the northern suburbs of Birmingham. Occasionally I will see a Brookside police SUV. The ones I've seen I guess are technically marked, however the SUV is a dark gray and the lettering that marks the car is nearly the same dark gray, thus it blends in and can really only be seen if you're up close and/or the light hits the lettering a certain way.
There is absolutely no reason Brookside Police should be writing the number of tickets they do or bringing in the revenue that they do.

Another important point to this story: Brookside really isn't allowed to write speeding tickets for speeders on I-22 under Alabama law, as only police in cities with 19,000 or more residents can do so. I'm not sure if they have done so, but it wouldn't surprise me if they've tried because most people don't know that law. They can write other traffic citations on I-22, though.
So if you're ever in Alabama and get a ticket for speeding on an interstate from a city police officer, I recommend checking to see what the population of their city is.
