     As an Arkansas resident with family in Louisiana I can assure you the speed trap that makes up the stateline between the two is legendary. I use speedtrap loosely as they'll give you a ticket because their wife told them to cut back on the donuts. I got stopped coming back from my Grandfathers funeral and the only reason I didn't get a ticket was that just as the bluelights came on I got passed by the cops nephew, who also pulled over. I was going about two mph over the limit. Not sure why the kid stopped since the cop was behind me, but his uncle sure went to bitching him out while I stood there. That's how I know the relation.
     Word is that New Orleans has cleaned up a lot since I living there as a kid, back then the cops would rob convenient stores in uniform. Wearing a ski mask and tape over their badge name/#. Who really knows though?
     Oh yeah, I got stopped in Oklahoma a while back, for speeding when I was traveling in the slow lane in a line with a bunch of Oakies. Yes, Warch, I had Texas plates at the time. Anyway, I mailed in my payment by check, the check was cashed and the ticket was never put on my record. I guess the city didn't want to share the cash with the county/state. Works for me. No ticket on my record.
