Letter to the Editor: Reader detects some trends in area law enforcement

Dear editor:
I enjoy reading a newspaper cover to cover. While reading the Basin and Greybull papers, I have noticed some trends in the local police forces, Basin, Greybull, and Manderson.
Now people say that Manderson is a speed trap. To be a speed trap, a person would be issued a ticket for the slightest infraction. By looking at the Manderson police log on a regular basis, this is not true that Manderson is a speed trap. Having read numerous Manderson police logs, only two tickets were issued for going less than 10 miles per hour over the speed limit.  One ticket was for 8 miles over and the other one was for 9 miles over the speed limit. The rest of the tickets issued were 10 miles or more over the speed limit. The police are doing their job of trying to keep the citizens safe. I have not noticed any warning tickets issued by the Manderson police force.  They seem to spend most of their time patrolling for speeders.
