This is no surprise since North Plate has been crowned as the number one most dangerous city to live in. This is according to the News Break info site, Omaha second and Grand Island third.
Seems like a good ROI to me. 10s of thousands of dollars in overtime for a few traffic violations.
I’d like to congratulate drugs for winning the war on drugs.
Also congrats to the police force for draining taxpayers dry to catch a few speeders out here
