There is a very steep hill on Stillwater going north from Odell. I can see how easily your cart could be over the speed limit going down that hill. It seems to me that a Deputy should have something "better" to do than giving out speeding tickets to Village residents going downhill in a golf cart. This is what I call a "speed trap" and IMHO it's over the top aggressive police behavior. I have no problem with Deputies clocking Carts on a flat surface roadway---and if going 25mph or more give a ticket----under 25 a warning ticket for first offense. No disrespect but a little common sense goes a long way.
