In highschool we would get halfway up the hill and "give her hell" he would alway@ make chase. But always turned around at the city limit sign. The good.ol days

I've made a few high speed runs back up the hill towards Camdenton myself with the red lights behind me. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Depending on the weight of your boat you might need a tag in ks, anything over 2k needs a tag.

didn't know they had that much trouble with boats but cattle rustleing is a big problem down south and they will stop every cattle trailer after dark, years ago Mo. was #3inthe nation for cattle rustleing and since most farmers don't haul at nite that's why they target them

Checked with the courthouse when I bought the boat and told didn't need a tag

Seems to me there was a scam similar to this in Texas years ago about a small town between Belton and Ft Hood. If I remember right The local cops of Nolonville were targeting vehicles on the interstate from the side roads, then chasing them down and ticketing them, taking them in front of the magistrate judge. If they couldn't afford to pay the oversized sized fines, their vehicles were impounded and sold at auction to pay the fines. Well after a time people got tired of the hassel, and there was a big worthstory about it on 60 minutes. Then the Austin got to investigating into it. Seems the Courts in Nolonville hadn't paid the taxes on any of the ill gotten fines, and had to sell off all but one of it's police cars and a whole lot of other things that was purchased with these funds, in order to pay the taxes. Seems to me, if my memory is right, the Judge and police chief served some time behind it to.....might be worth investigating. Just my

worth.

Only place i found worse was Macks Creek on Hwy. 54 but that eased up some years ago after so many complalints.

Funny story on that one. Those cops in Mack's Creek finally pulled over a prosecuting attorney from another county who ended up getting several of those guys fired. Huge speed trap and cops that were asinine.
