    I wish I could give 0 stars! I was on my way to spring break with some friends, the speed limit…read moredropped from 65 to 45 in very little time. Officer Otis (who is mentioned a lot here) sat right by the speed limit sign and then pulled me over, telling me I was going 70 mph in a 45 mph zone. I was very nice and cordial and apologized for speeding, and told him I was not familiar with this area as I was just passing through for vacation. Otis looked me dead in the eyes and said "I'm sure the speed limit signs are just as big in Pennsylvania (where I am from) as they are here in Florida, sweetheart." I have never gotten pulled over for speeding before this or since, and the lack of kindness and sarcasm this officer gave me in that one comment ruined my entire day. He was very unprofessional, rude, and unforgiving for someone who was just passing through. I feel bad for the residents in this town who will have to deal with someone like him everyday, because he certainly cares more about his ego than he does for the safety of civilians.

    Worst Police Experience I've ever seen in my entire life! And this is coming from a fellow Police…read moreOfficer/Army Veteran. Its Officers like Cpl. Otis that makes all of us look bad. Just check the reviews! His name has been mentioned numerous times, and I see why. He's very rude and unprofessional to say the least. The speed limit drop from 65 to 45 within a mile. Cpl. Otis set right there just pass the 45 mph speed limit sign and stopped my for going 68 in a 45. I was on my way home from completing some army training. I had been gone for a few weeks and was just looking to get home to my family. I was still in my uniform when I was stopped. Cpl. Otis never told me why he stopped me, he just asked for my license. I had to ask him what speed did he clock me at. I tried to talk to him, he wouldn't listen. He just handed me the ticket and said have a good day sergeant. As I mentioned before I'm a police officer myself, so I've been in his shoes on numerous occasions, but I take the time to listen to people and tell them why I stopped them. Not this officer! he shows no compassion or respect for anyone. The last time I received a speeding ticket was 11 years ago, and he didn't take that into consideration. That's things that I look at before I decide to write a ticket. I don't write tickets for stats, but I truly feel like Officer Otis does.

    Cottondale Police Department - This idiot needs to be fired immediately.   He stopped me for blinking red lights on my bicycle.

    Approx 2.5 hours south of Atlanta, lies the speedtrap of a city called Ashburn. About 6 years ago,…read moresome friends and I were traveling to the SuperBowl and got pulled over in this stretch of I-75S and she was able to convince the officer we weren't speeding, this has stuck with me for all these years, so imagine my disappointment when this past May, I was pulled over for doing 91 in a 70. I told the officer that I wasnt speeding, and since Georgia has imposed the new super speeder fine if caught going more than 20+ over the posted speed limits, I knew that I would be fighting this ticket. Last week, I received my letter to appear before the judge in my case. I called the Turner County Offices, because the letter stated that if you chose to plead Not Guilty, u must appear in court....I'm thinkin...drive 2.5 hours to say Not Guitly.....I have to be able to do that over the phone. NOT!!! Not only did the letter say it, but the clerk that answered the phone told me....if u dont appear, a bench warrant will be issued for your arrest and your license will be suspeneded. SHEESH! So I get to court today to find out, that if you plead not guilty, you will have to appear on TWO other occassions, one to get on the court calender, and then for the trial, if the officer doesnt show up for the first trial, the case will be re-set and thus you may have to go a third time. We were not allowed to enter the courtroom until right at 9am...and not one minute before....all men were required to tuck their shirts into thier pants, no white tees or tee shirts with pictures, sayins or other graphics are allowed...no ahtlethic gear, no mini skirts or sweatpants....Telephones are not allowed...not..make sure your phone is off...but NOT ALLOWED...as in the metal detector guy tells u to take it back to your car, or turn it over to the bailiff to retievie after court. After the calender is called, the soliciter will meet with you and offer to reduce the fine, and poliety remind you that if you plan to plead Not Guilty, you will be required to come back to court at least twice again. In the end, i went with the reduced fine and 60 days to pay it off....instead of committing myself to the 2.5 hour drive at least twice more....My fine was reduced from $440 to $282,....overall the entire court session took less than 20 minutes....I just don't see the sense in blockin off at least 5 hours of driving time for two more court apperances...at least two more....and IMO this is what little towns like this expect....u either are gonna pay the fine...or get frustrated...and pay the fine! Funny thing....the judge showed up the same time as me...he had on a seersucker suit with a pink shirt/tie combo....and got upset when the courtroom wouldnt audibly say the Pledge of Alligeance with him. I'm thinkin half of the court room was hispanic...and the other half was pissed about rigged speeding tickets. Be very careful on this stretch of I-75S

    A quick google search of "Ashburn, GA" or "Turner County, GA" is all you need to see that this…read moreplace is horrid. Capitalizing on out-of-towners, mostly those of us from Florida who have the unfortunate luck of having no other direct route back to our state than I-75. A little advice: when you get pulled over (not if but when), DON'T JUST PAY THE TICKET AND FORGET ABOUT IT! Either hire a lawyer in Ashburn or go back to court. Despite GA's laws supposedly not requiring convictions (and yes, paying it online means a conviction) to be sent back to the home state, they will still be notified and your insurance will still increase dramatically. I would recommend travelers avoid this town and putting money into their economy. They are getting plenty from pulling over Floridians and upping their speeds 3 or 4 miles for that extra $200 fine. Go elsewhere for your gas and food. PS knowitall comments ("Don't speed and you won't get tickets, etc") are futile. I wasn't the one who got a ticket. Still doesn't mean I'm okay with it.
