WALDO, Fla. -- The City Council of a tiny north Florida town known as
one of the nation's worst speed traps has voted to disband its small
police force.

I have been through Waldo many times. It is the way to get from I-75
to I-95 without going through Orlando and Jacksonville.
I understand why people got tickets, you are rolling along doing 65 in
a 55, then you suddenly come into a little town, The speed drops in 10
mph increments until you get to 35 over about 2 miles.
That is common with a dozen little towns on that 301 and A1A stretch.
The only difference was that Waldo was aggressive in enforcing the
35MPH (writing at anything over 45) where you could cruise through
the other towns at 50 or more most of the time.

I never got a ticket there. I knew better.

How fast can you go in down town Huntingtown? Are they aggressive in
enforcing that? I know the whole state of Maryland was a speed trap
when I lived there. The MSP would set up a RADAR on the beltway, have
a couple dozen cops running out in the road stopping all the cars and
write tickets 30-40 at a time. "Following the flow of traffic" was no
defense. Everyone got a ticket.
I got a ticket for 40 in a 35 in Clinton once, at midnight. That was
ridiculous.

Why does law ENFORCEMENT stick in your craw? Do you have a problem
reading and understanding signage?
