Argo Police are sitting in Carrington Subdivision (which is in Trussvile)they are running radar back towards Argo which is atleast a quarter mile away if not farther. As a former police officer I know for a fact that radar does not work at that kind of distance. But somehow Argo seems to make it work for revenue.

Margaret road from Argo to Margaret is aproximately 4 miles. The most pervasive trap is at the bottom of the hill approaching the Margaret city limit sign. You must ride your brakes to maintain the 40 mph limit. The Argo police will follow you into Margaret to give you the ticket for exceeding the limit. Also, if your car touches the yellow center line twice during the 4 miles(curves and hills) you may be stopped for reckless driving.

My brother was pulled over b/c mufflers were loud the police officer asked him for license and registration he said okay but that he would have to reach in the glove box for his registration and didn't want to alarm him b/c his pistol was stored there. He handed the officer his license and pistol permit and before he could get his registration the officer asked him to step out of the car so he could search the vehicle. My brother did as he asked the officer called for back up and several more officers showed up they searched the vehicle found nothing and issued him a ticket for illegal mufflers which were not. My brother planned on fighting the ticket but the actual Judge called him and threw it out along with the ticket b/c the officer didn't have the legal right to pull him over. This was great but be very careful when driving through this town b/c these officers really have let their positions go to their heads.
