walnut grove cops

Ridiculous is all I can say. Pulled over for the second time this year by the same guy for no trailer tag. This time he followed me almost 2 miles out the city limits before pulling me over. Told me I didn't have a trailer tag, told him I didn't have to have one in kansas, then he asked if I could prove that it was my boat and that I didn't steal it! So I had to dig out my boat registration and give him my drivers liscense, 15 minutes later he figured out I was from kansas and that was my boat. I asked him what I needed to do to keep him from pulling me over and his reply was that he pulls over all boats and cattle trailers after dark. Get a life.

So, basically he's going to stop you tag or no tag years ago I lived in Memphis and fished Ms. Got into the same deal cause TN didn't require tag for boat trailer. Got to be such a hassle I made them sell me a tag for a utility trailer. Don't sound like a tag would solve your problem though.

Don't go through Walnut Grove. Return by another route.
Their reputation preceeds them. That POS isn't going to change.

Best revenue souce the town has probably, been that way for 30 years probably won't change. I wouldn't want their job and most cops are professional and courteous but some times someone becomes a small town policeman or deputy through default more than qualification. Only place i found worse was Macks Creek on Hwy. 54 but that eased up some years ago after so many complalints.

you just can't fix stupid, but I understand why he would stop a boat trailer after dark, no telling how many cows you could steal and hide in your boat..........

[stratosverian]

no telling how many cows you could steal and hide in your boat..........

They've always been like that. it is their only source of income. Its either that or hastle the locals.

[Clownfish]

The guy that picked on him in high school must have had a boat.

[Speck]

Pulling a boat or cattle trailer after dark isn't probable cause for a car stop. He could make the argument that the trailer didn't have a tag, but IF he is stopping every trailer he sees, he could get in trouble!!!!

A few years back, coming home one evening from Stockton in a procession of 3 trucks pulling their boats.....Me in the middle .....go through Walnut grove. I had noticed the boat in front had no tags. Like you said....About 2 miles out of town, Lites a blazin, he pulls ahead of all three of us. Blocks the road, and tells us to pull into a long drive. Asked what was going on....He says we were all speeding. I knew the limit was 25.....and might have been going 28-29. Got my FIRST speeding ticket in 46 years of driving. Said I was going 31. Went to their court on appointed day....It was closed!!! Called and they said it had been rescheduled. Went back to court to pay my fine and argue......And the Lady tells me you can pay double and it won't show on your record. After a lot of discussion with her, I agreed. Guess it worked....Never showed up on my insurance. Now I go through there at 10-15mph and wave when I see him.
