Speed Trap Towns In SC

[dreammachine]

I don't know if any of you have had the pleasure of going through a speed trap town lately, but there are several bad ones in South Carolina. My job use to take me all over SC and GA and to me the worst place was in Hannahan, SC where I got a ticket for not using my turn signal in a proper manner. The police officer was a complete moron and you would have thought I had rob a bank by the way he came after me. I was on a three lane highway and he was about 100 yards behind me when I changed lanes and did use my right turn signal each time I cross into the next lane. I received a ticket for $248.00. The police office did not even speak good english and kept me waiting in my car for over 20 minutes. I requested a jury trial and also the video from the officer's camera and the day before I was suppose to go to court I got a phone call from the clerk of court and she informed me to be at the courthouse by 9:00 AM the next morning and I informed her that I did not receive any of the information that I had requested per my attorney and the clerk of court told me to "take it up with the judge"! She did however offer to drop the charges to $200.00 if I would agree to that. I did because I would have to take a day off from work and get a hotel and would have spent that much fighting the charge. Hannahan, SC is listed as a speed trap town. Be careful if you are in that part of the state!!!!
