This parish is a joke.
I got a speeding ticket...I was going 85 in a 75 on the interstate...fair.
The ticket is $290!!!! Such B S.
I recognize a lot of areas of Louisiana are suffering but this is crazy.
I know they don’t care but I will trash this godforsaken parish every chance I get and ensure none of my friends and family spend a dime there.

I know...cool story bro’...don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time...etc.

These smaller parishes are losing people and their cities are going to shite. IMO part of it is because of stuff like this.

I know I'll never spend a dime in some of these places due to their predatory police practices. For example, Washington and their policing of I-49.

I could be wrong... but wasn't there a law passed a few years back that locals could only write a ticket on the interstate if it was 12 or more over? Maybe it was 10. Either way, it was designed to prevent places like Washington from setting up speed traps.

Seems pretty standard for 10 over. What is the complaint?

Another example, St. Martin Parish and their policing of Hwy 90 in Broussard. It's less that 2 fricking miles and they radar the frick out of that stretch.

It's not the people that drive 10 over on the interstate that are dangerous, it's people that drive 10 under. Also people that don't understand that unless you are passing someone, you should be in the right lane.

I wish they would stop ticketing speeding on the interstate in general - for all privately owned light vehicles. Commercial truck speed limits should be strictly enforced.

I'm all for in town speeding tickets on rural and local roads where there are pedestrians, bicyclists and multiple intersections.

Heading back to Texas after visiting my parents in MC.
I wasn’t really hurrying just driving with the flow of traffic...

It’s not like I was doing 100 miles an hour.
