Reply to "City of Florence Speed Trap"

I would like to respond to this issue. I used to be a reserve police officer in a small town around here, one that had a bad rap for citing speeders. The whole time I was riding we hardly ever wrote for less than 10 over the posted limit. We still made people mad when they would get a citation for this. I have been in emergency services for almost 15 years and I have seen many accidents because of exessive speed. I do not fault the officers for doing their job, in fact I thank them for thier work to try to make the streets safer for all of us. Now I do not think Florence or any other town has "speed traps", what I think is people in a hurry and speeding get mad because they got caught. All I can say is if you dont want a ticket then slow down and pay attention. I know that Christmas is a bad time for a ticket, but what if someone you know got into an accident because of someone speeding then that would make Christmas much worse. So count your blessings and thank the men and women in blue for their sacrifice to help make this area a safer place to live.
