Barney Fife would be proud of these guys. The LPD's sole purpose for existing is to fund the city's coffers. There's a 400-yard stretch of I-71 that LPD (illegally) patrols vigilantly. Anybody driving through here can tell when Linndale is approaching based on the brake lights that are seen as soon as you enter the village. They've been featured on the local and national news multiple times for the overzealous ticketing, their illegal tactics, their hypocrisy, and how far they're willing to go to defend their practices in court.
They'll ticket you if:
- You run a yellow light
- Stop your car two inches in front of a white line at a traffic signal or a stop sign
- Speeding - Anything over the speed limit is a certain ticket
- Do a rolling stop or a rolling right on red
They're not as corrupt as New Rome was, but they are right up there for the title of "Worst Police Department in the State".
And, no, I have not gotten ticketed there.
