I am not on Web sites much, but this caught my eye. Several years ago, this was called Fairview. Not too much history about the change. Shortly after the change, they started their own police department that had two cops with little red lights, radar guns and ticket books, and they drove an unmarked little black truck and big car. The bad boy in the truck was doing his job. He wrote three tickets to three different people for 74 mph in a 60 mph speed limit on the same day in an area less than a mile on Farm Road 2264 off of Farm Road 407.
This equipment is in storage at city hall for future use. I assume this may also be on the Web site.
Well, this is 2009 and not much has changed. I understand this fine city has four contract cops driving county marked cars to work for them on their days off from their regular jobs. This must be a hard job to fill when you target one part of this fine city or sit at city hall for an hour with the engine running (county cop car) writing tickets in the city of New Fairview ticket book. These may have been in storage.
This targeted area is in the uptown section (trailer house trash), but we have the best of the city with more signs than a sign shop. These signs are big ones that read "no heavy trucks allowed." The city Web site and board members on street. We also have some little signs that read "speed limit," "9 ton load limit," "crime watch" and several more. I almost forgot the little faded out sign overloaded with big signs attached to the pole of a red stop sign. There is one of them that spins around. Boy, this is a show to watch people running around 24/7. Also, there is a top-class speed trap on most days that these cops work. This has to be a hard job - to sit and wait on your prey.
My best advice is to check this Web site before you plan a trip here. If you can't read, drive a truck or have a laptop with you, you are in trouble. Enter at your own risk.
