    Well, I'm not sure about Tennessee, but in Texas we have the same instance where there are differing speed limits on either side of the roadway, but for very good reasons. I would think the same reasoning would apply to Tennessee as well. A speed limit is set differing on a decline/incline because of the very nature of the degree of the roadway. If it was a straight-a-way then I would call that into question. Sorry about her troubles though.

    Not me, Crystal.

    She got a speeding ticket when she first started working in Benton which she swore up and down wasn't accurate based on where she was cited due to it being a different speed zone than the officer stated. However, she didn't contest that one.

    More recently she was pulled over due to expired tags and she didn't have the current proof of insurance. She went to court and provided both the proof of insurance as well as the registration. The court dropped the tickets but assessed the scam that is court costs. Typically with very minor citations like the ones she received courts will dismiss all charges and fees if the items are corrected. Not in the !@@*?# little town of Etowah, Tennessee. The town is an absolute speed trap sucking in revenue through speeding tickets and apparently court costs.

    This town has speed limits that not only jump up and down repeatedly from 25mph to 55mph they also have stretches of road that have different speed limits for each direction of traffic which in my opinion should be against the law.

    Well I've chosen to remain neutral on this one for just a couple of reasons. While I honestly believe that police officers are told to meet a certain quota per month or year I'm pretty sure they would never admit it publicly. On the other hand I also believe that if a person didn't want to be issued a citation they would follow the speed limit and all other traffic laws. Not to put too fine a point on it they are a necessary evil. This issue seems to have you pretty riled up. Did you receive a ticket? If so what was it for? Have you considered contesting it in court? Just curious.

    I've got to tell you, I am absolutely pissed off here. I purchased this phone because it came with Googles reputation regarding updates and now what. After holding out, even though the signal sucks I feel very violated right now. I was hoping for a firmware update to fix the inadequate signal but with Verizon behind the helm who knows what kind of support we'll be getting.

    Verizon, your incompetence has me strongly considering another option when my contract expires.

    I just wanted to check and see, aren't those two democrats the same guys who passed legislation that will digitize all medical records and force people to buy health insurance? Last time I checked even the FBI couldn't keep their servers from shutting down due to hackers so how private are our medical records really going to be?
