Speed trap town of Macks Creek falls on hard times
Macks Creek Missouri once issued about eight speeding tickets daily earning 165000 annually from fines. A 1995 law capped ticket revenue and the town owes roughly 160000, with police laid off and the hall repurposed as a senior center. Deputies now guard the town as residents lament loss of revenue and trust.
