My review in no way reflects on the whole department,but the experience I had with one particular sheriff. On 04/06/16 a Dimmit County sheriff pulled me over on Faith Ranch Rd, right at a corner where FM 186 becomes Faith Ranch Rd. The speed limit right before the corner was 55 MPH. Any other signs had been removed for the road construction that was taking place. The sheriff claimed that the speed limit was 30 MPH, even though there was no sign sign for it, which I pointed out. He said that on any County Road, the speed limit is 30 MPH by default. The only problem is that Faith Ranch Rd is not a County Road, and it doesn't even have a CR designation. It's a road on someone's ranch. While I was pulled over, other motorists continued passing at above the speed I had been pulled over for even though they could see me pulled over and didn't slow down. Most likely because they thought they were within the speed limit,and due to the nonexistence of a 30 MPH sign that the sheriff kept insisting was there. I found it interesting that the Sheriff drove away after issuing me the ticket even though it seemed like a spot that he would be able to issue many more tickets to other drivers going around 55 mph.
I have nothing but tremendous respect and admiration for the dedication of our law enforcement, but it's unfortunate that situations like this occur where someone feels like they have no say in an unlawful decision. It's also very unbecoming for a law enforcement officer,who should be dripping with professionalism, to twist facts just to pin someone with a ticket,and be an obstacle to a fair application of the very law he is enforcing.I am a Commercial Drivers License holder, and a citation like this on my record could jeopardize my ability to work as a truck driver.
