Not sure if this is the right place to vent my frustration with the APD or not. This morning as I was driving my two sons to school I was "waved over" by The APD directly in front of Depoe Bay Coffee.. An APD officer standing in the street with a Radar device waved me over.This officer was just finishing up with another unsuspecting commuter. This officer asked if I knew why I was stopped. I told him no. He than asked me to remove my sunglasses? (which I did) and told me I was going 32mph. He then showed me the reading on the radar device. It read 30mph. He proceeded to ask me if I knew what the speed limit was and I said no. He then told me It was 25mph. My two sons and myself were all seat-belted. I really had no idea what the speed limit on High street was so I went looking for a sign. It turns out that from the fairgrounds entrance to Elm Ave (traveling towards Elm) there is exactly one stop sign (at the corner of college Way) The Officer told me that he just wanted to let me know that allot of people were speeding through this area and driving recklessly. Well, as you can imagine, I was dumbfounded and felt like I was being unfairly harrased. I am a very safe driver and have a perfect driving record. I have never had a speeding ticket or reckless driving ticket. Because of this action by the APD my kids were late for school. Anyone else think this is harassment?

At least you didn't get a ticket!

I think it would be considered harrassment if the officer had verbally mistreated you or otherwise behaved unprofessionally.

For APD, this WAS a friendly warning.

Did you ever stop to think that the officer was attempting to raise your awareness? Why do so many people bash the boys that try to make the streets safer? You were clearly stopped because you were not driving in a safe manner...Accept it...Speeding causes crashes,injuries and if someone stepped in front of your car you could kill them. High street is a small little busy street with shoppers and cars everywhere...No ticket for your actions? Sounds like you should just listen to the warning, and thank the officer for the warning...
