The trap is across from Bi-Lo near WalGreens. I got my ticket from a cop hiding between the bushes near the woods at the bottom of a downslope in the road.

Comment (9/2003): I got my ticket at 5:45 am on the way to work. Dark, only vehicle on the road and he was sitting in the concrete median with lights off....at the bottom of the down slope...radar...waiting. This happens all the time. Caution! They always hide! Small town...big profits.

Comment (11/2004): There are no profits in small town cops writing tickets. The proceeds go to the court system.

I often see Belmont cops hiding in the parking lot of the First Presbyterian church on Main Street after dark under the big shade tree next to the cemetary. What a sad act of cops to hide in parking lots of places of worship in our little town. There are plenty of better places that aren't as sacred as a church to hide. Shame on you Belmont policemen for using a church to hide your cover.

On Hwy. 7 starting at Wilkinson Blvd./US 29/74 along a half-mile stretch going toward town, Belmont Police cars hide in several places waiting for speeders. And they catch a lot of them. I see cars pulled over all the time. The speed limit is 35, I guess because it's residential and little kids play in the yards, but most drivers seem to do 45 to 60. And who can blame them, most of them are going to work in Charlotte and they're running a little late, or it's Friday and they're heading out to start their weekend. The cops must have better things to do.
