Instead of writing tickets for going 2 miles over the speed limit (and being forced to share the money with the court system), Taylor Police now write speeding tickets for “Double Parking” so they can keep ALL the money from the fine. And drivers are happy about it because it isn’t recorded as points on their driver’s license.
