If I go from one side of our little town to the other, I can see 7 or 8 police cars in a 15 minute span. I'll see 2 police cars on the same small street pass each other. They are like ants on sugar here.
As of 2007, the town had an estimated population of 64,707
Almost three-quarters of the cases that went through Mount Pleasant's municipal court in 2009 involve driving-related offenses, with officers handing out more than 500 tickets for speeding less than 10 mph over the speed limit, a look at the town's records shows.
In 2009, Mount Pleasant's municipal court handled 15,956 cases, records show, of which 5,582 were for speeding. The court handled 297 driving under the influence cases and 1,594 careless driving tickets.
Almost 1 in 12 got a ticket here...
