Description: As you drive out of the city past the new shopping mall the speed limit is 35mph. At the top of the hill it goes to 45mph. They will sit on a side street on the right, Andrews Rd., and before you see them you're on radar. In my experience the Cop was polite, but my niece met his evil twin. He was rude and sarcastic. My understanding it that they have to summons you or write a report to their Chief explaining why they didn't. If he doesn't like the reason the Cop is disciplined. When Police Officers are not allowed to exercise discretion nobody benefits. If they want to get people to pay attention to the speed limit a warning is just as good. All I learned from my experience was to not shop in Biddeford.

  10 years of driving with perfect credit (never having been pulled over) and I get a ticket, not a warning, for going exactly 10 over in this area where the speed limit switches over. Not only that, but I was complimented on the fact that I was wearing a seatbelt. Seriously? I am very disheartened by the Biddeford Police Department. Cut a good driver a break once in a while, would you?

  I was told by the cop that 10 over the limit he has to give a ticket. I was going 11 over. Watch out, they sit there a lot.
