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

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.

That's the thing, though. They use "speeding" or other tickytack BS as their probable cause and naive citizens allow them to search their vehicles.
I think it was this article, but it could have been another, that said they were arresting people for possession of a joint and giving them a charge for possession of marijuana and a paraphernalia charge on top of that for the rolling paper it was rolled up in lol. Even charging one guy for a jar that "once possibly contained marijuana" and tray that "may have been used for rolling joints".
That's just fricked up. I get it, reefer is illegal in AL, but that's just ridiculous. Even the sheriff said he's never seen things charged the way they do things there.

They can when the state troopers contract them. Hoover PD regularly patrols I-22 and also I-20 west of Leeds. I've also seen Graysville and Adamsville on I-22, but at least they have jurisdiction there, Hoover sure as hell doesnt.
