Law enforement structure.

Wow! Lots of good info here.

So, can ISD officers issue speeding tickets anywhere in their geographic ISD (for example, on the highway that is nowhere near a school)?

YES, that is the whole reason I posted my initial post about them.....I was unaware that they could until just a few yrs. back.

Not that it is a bad thing, but there sure is alot of different police agencies around, kind of confusing

i don't care the reason, just stay OUT of Williamson Co. ,

i don't care the reason, just stay OUT of Williamson Co. ,

And why would I do that?

I worked with a LEO (I'll omit the agency) that used to work in the prison system and at the end of his prison guard career he worked in the "departure dept" he said more than one inmate when asked where he wanted his bus ticket marked replied "anywhere but Williamson county". LOL. My dad was a Sheriff deputy and a deputy Constable here. Almost every stupid thing I've done has been done here and yet I'm still okay.

Really?

And why would I do that?

I think because WilCo prosecutes people the the fullest extent (maybe a certain person had some bad incarceration in WilCo.)Ha.

I worked a meth case there and they gave the couple 50 years combined time! It was sweet!

Oh, so honest, law abiding folk like ME (and I assume most here) have nothing to worry about or reason to avoid the place.

I have a question and I'm by no means trying to be a smart ass. If the revenue from traffic fines don't help anything why does the fine go up $20 a year? If the city isn't making any money why do they issue the fines in the first place? And if the money isn't a source of revenue why do they issue warrants the payment is late?

I think only small cities can efficiently make any money on the deal. I don't like it. I think it is a crock, but it is the reason that you should always go the speed limit in little towns (and 3 mph below the speed limit in Shavano Park, TX. I think they have the highest number of police cars/ miles of road).

Long story short, traffic citations SHOULD NOT be a method of taxation. That puts the law enforcement/government in a moral hazard.
