Golden meadow, Krotz springs and welsh are the biggest offenders for speed traps.

Washington, La is the GOAT #1.

The link to pay tickets in Vinton is not nearly as surprising as learning they have a detective

A township. The law enforcement is primarily done by the Police Chief.

Within a parish, the law enforcement is handled by the Sheriff who is the chief officer of the entire parish including the municipalities.

Baker and Zachary with their little trailers with cameras got me last year. If you see the flash, it's too late.

Coming down from Liberty, MS on La. 67, and the limit drops from 55 to 40 mph in the blink of an eye (frankly, I didn't see one of those reduced speed ahead signs... is there one there?) and a traffic cop is parked right there at the 40 mph sign. Screw that place. Only went through there because I saw it in "The Long Hot Summer".


I drove it a good bit a few years ago. Was my HWY 20 Ride so to speak. You get used to it but yes it is a bit obvious what they are doing and it's NOT protecting and serving.

Norwood and Wilson take the cake. Basically East Feliciana Parish is a giant speed trap.

I grew up just south of there, yes they are notorious for anyone that drives through there regularly. That is how the town gets its revenue I think, no local sales taxes.
