Went to see my daughter in Winnfield, Louisiana this past weekend. Enroute got pulled over in a little place called Village of Robeline. Was told I was doing 67 in a 55, but didn't know how because I had the cruise set on 60. Yes, I was going 5 over, but, he said I was doing 67. What was I going to do? Didn't want to make him mad, but who knows what would have happened. Handed him my TDL and CHL and insurance card. He never even asked where my gun was, just said he would be back. He came back and gave me my first ticket ever! He said he gave me a break and wrote it for 66 in a 55. What a break!? Then, he told me if I pay it before the court date that they wouldn't report it to the Texas DMV. I stopped there on the way back and payed the ticket. $227 dollars...ouch! If you look that town up on Google they make 85 percent of their profit from tickets. In addition, if you didn't know, it is not illegal in Louisiana for towns to operate speed traps.
