Is this the worst speed trap in America?

Brookside, Alabama’s population barely crests a population size 1,200 people, but officials decided that what the town really needed was even more police. Now, the small town has been inundated with policing to the point that fines and forfeitures make up half of the town’s income in a rampant case of policing for profit

The numbers are shocking. Only 55 nonviolent crimes were reported in the seven-year period between 2011 and 2018. And yet in 2018, the police force bean to expand from one full-time police officer to eight full-time officers and several part-timers.
