The State of Ohio is in process of revoking the 'Village' status of New Rome, Ohio for this very thing. lol They have operated a speed trap since the early 60's. The new mayor ordered the police chief to fire the officers before this ever really got started. They would have 10+ cars pulled over at a time in their '25' mph zone when state law dictated it was a 35 mph zone. lol

Seems they have like 800 people or less in their so called 'village' and it spanned less than 1/4 mile of highway. But they drew $490,000.00 per year from just speeding tickets. lmao

Sad to say, the cruisers were vandalised after the Police dept disbanned.
