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 make that trip frequently. The speed limit is curiously low but I've never had a problem in Clinton.

it use to be 40mph way before the school on the right going into town, they finally changed it over a year ago to 40mph right at the church on the left were all the cops sit, and there is a 40mph warning sign, but somehow I still forget to slow down

You made it through Liberty without a ticket and yet you're bitching about Clinton being a Speedtrap. Talmadge Bunch still the sheriff?

Pretty much.

If you aren't local, you are just their type.

I got pulled over for speeding in Clinton once. I challenged the officer to a spelling duel. If he could spell "Louisiana Revised Statute 32:63a," I wouldn't contest the ticket. I won.

There is no revised statue in Louisiana named 32:63a.

Yes, the whole goddamn town. If you travel through it regularly you need to get check for radiation sickness. I've been hit by five different radars before in one trip through town.

And if you think southbound on 67 is bad, you should try going east/westbound on HWY 10 east of town. All us locals have the speed zones hardwired so it's just automatic to hit our brakes in time, but a constant stream of out of towners is always getting driving awards here.

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.
