Baxter Springs and Galena Kansas are both small towns. The problem the police departments in both towns are full of officers on ego trips. If you go through either one of these towns with an out of state plate plan to be pulled over. If you go through either of these towns after 10:00 PM plan to be pulled over, just so they can ask what you're doing out so late as if 10 is late. They are rude, hateful and obnoxious. With the exception of a few officers most will purposely cause the driver to get an attitude this in turn gives them the right to search your car. Breaking lights is not beyond these departments. They regularly harass their own citizens so you can imagine how they treat nonresidents.
