You, according to you statement "The little nothing town", were raised in a large city. However, this is not a little nothing town had a large share in the history of Oklahoma. Please, whether or not you are from Oklahoma, read it's history. You will find that Oklahoma prior to becoming a state was aptly known as "No Mans Land". This was because notorius outlaws used as a fortress against the law. After becoming a state the law began cleaning up the rift raft. I believe that the law is present to protect Oklahoma citizens whether it be speeding, murder, robbery or anything else. Mr. Steele.

My two small children play in the yard almost every evening. You act like the speed limit should be 65 through our town. Would you like people flying by your house with your children playing in the yard? Its pretty clear to me that your from a highly populated city, you should stay there.

The little nothing town has a 114 year history as a speed trap.
