The Bean Station City (?) Police Chief, used to be a deputy in Hancock County (they have police there, and last year, they installed a second traffic light. Wow.). On his first day as a duputy, he gave 27 tickets, and got the hell beat out of him (People in Hancock County aren't afraid to do that.). He needed about a hundred stitches in his eye-brow, and his noze was badly broken. The moment he was released from the hospital, he went out and started giving out more tickets. Guess what happened. He got the crap beat out of him. This all happened within one week of his being deputised. One week with a badge, and he had the hell and the crap beaten out of him.

This is the man who picked out all of the Bean Station deputies. These are the deputies who give me tickets for having bad tires, loose trim, leaky exhaust, and breaking down on the side of the road (they called it illegal parking). This is the police department who gives tickets in Sneedville, Morristown, Rutledge, Blaine, Thorn Hill, Mooresburg, Jefferson City, Tazewell and even Eidson, even though their jurisdiction is restricted to the Bean Station City Limits, which is hardly large enough for the post office.

Our police chief is the kind of man who tries to get his name in the newspaper every week (we don't have enough news for a daily paper). He is a man who no-one will admit they're related to. He is a man who will hide under his cruiser at the slightest sign of danger. He is a man who will pull someone over and search their car for being from another state. He is a man who once emptied his pistol into the back of a fleeing car and now refuses to admit to it (they never did find that car, but I heard the whole thing on my police radio). He is a man who brags about being able to buy new cruisers with money from traffic tickits.

This is our police department, and that is the whole truth.

Spend your next vacation in Bean Station, Tennessee. I dare you.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bean%E2%80%99s_Station says 2669 for population...are you sure you don't just carry a grudge? SWAT gear? I find this all hard to believe. It sounds like your typical small town cop rumors rolled up and blown out of proportion.

I call bullshit, having a court date the week after he got the ticket??? Doesnt seem very resonable. Every ticket i've ever gotten, the court date has been over a month after i got it.

when i got my court date it was about 10 days after i got my ticket but when my uncle got his ticket for the same exact thing on the same street by the same cop his was about 3 months later so i guess it just depends

And this one is only what, 8, 9 months old...?
