This is the last place I expected to visit…read more No, Officer, the handcuffs are not too tight. Yes, the ride in the Police cruiser was fun with the lights and sirens going. Okay, seriously, am I the only person on the list of potential jurers? I have been called to jury duty seven times and served them all. This court has been the nicest of all the courts I have served on. Beautiful tiled entryway is in the waiting area. Stunning wood panel walls. The visitor's seats in court are the usual rock hard wood pews. So I guess I was glad I was picked so I could sit in the soft jury seats. The Procesutor, Judge and Bailiff were very pleasant to work with. Wow! They pay $10.00 per day instead of the usual 6 bucks. In conclusion, it is a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there.

Spent a coupla hours here today, and for those Cedar Parkites out there in trouble with the Laws,…read moreI'm gonna impart some useful info. First off, if you are looking for the Police Dept, it is also located in this building. If you own a pet in Cedar Park, you gotta get CP tags at the police station. IT"S THE LAW!! and you gotta renew them with each rabies vaccine.....don't talk to ME about "the Man". He got me goin and comin. Being a model citizen (read: never been caught), I'd never been to court and this was definitely NOT what I'd expected. First you walk in and have to stand in line to sign in. Then you, and 20+ total strangers are all called in to air out your drama in public. At first, I was nervous about this ordeal...as time passed....and passed....nervous turned into boredom which turned into agitation...which eventually devolved into curiosity as I began to realize I was gonna be last called. Were they saving the best or the worst for last? Or was this pergatory some form of my punishment?? I learned a few things whilst waiting on my pew (very churchlike): 1. I learned how the judge metes out justice for traffic violations, juvenile delinquents, and minor assaulters (he was very fair and made me much more relaxed). 2. I learned that the guy who knows how the system works and can be helpful in directing you where to sign in, can be one of the assaulters. Be careful.... 3. I learned, again, why I don't have kids. There were a few bad eggs in there and I would hate to be they mommas. Actually, my "kids" are bad eggs too, apparently. Hmm. 4. I learned I can write an entire review in my head when I have nothing else to do but stare at wood panelling. I could tell you how many chairs were in the jury panel and describe in length the color scheme of the carpeting. But I don't want to bore you with details....I"ll just bore you with this review instead :) After you speak to the judge, you are directed to go back out of the courtroom and wait, again, to be called to settle your fines. What seemed an eternity in my brain, actually worked out to 2 hours flat, and as mentioned, I was the last one dealt with. This, btw, had nothing to do with when I signed in or alphabetical names. Nope it's all about your docket number...and nothing personal as I'd thought. I certainly wouldn't recommend coming here for grins, but if you are in trouble with the Po-Po, this is a relatively well-oiled machine and painless, except to your wallet. Btw, anybody want two sweet, hairy, drooly, goofy, neighborhood-roamin, no tag-havin, dogs?? I"ll only charge ya $250!

Instead of the two dispatchers taking the information while I could retrieve it while also driving, the dispatchers were argumentative and speaking over me. I found out that after I attempted to make a complaint regarding the dispatchers, the dispatcher department investigated me! The chief apparently was involved too!! This is absurd & shows how Georgetown police department wants to just cover up the issues & attempt to blame citizens for complaints about unprofessional behavior!!

So let me get this straight. I'm the victim of a crime, but I'm supposed to do your job for you? N.W.A. had it right when they said, "Fuck the Police". They're useless anyway. I have a wonderful idea. Do your fucking jobs, or admit you don't actually care about the residents of Austin. We as a city pay a lot of money to the APD. Do your jobs, or admit you're useless. And no. "We were defunded" is not a valid excuse. I'm Autistic and Bipolar, but I'm capable of doing your job. You have zero excuse. Do your fucking jobs. It's not our job to investigate crimes we are victims of.

I would like to give honorable mention to the lovely and tender-hearted, officer Sanchez…read more.. Late Saturday evening, my husband, our dog, and I were stranded, due to a flat tire. No one we attempted contacting was available to come to our rescue. We had been walking for about an hour, along 1431, hoping someone would see us and stop to help. Some parts of the path we had to take, had barely any shoulder to walk on. Cars were frighteningly close when they passed by us. Mosquitos were feasting on us. I was wearing hard, high heels . My hip joints were aching. You don't realize, when driving, just how steep our hills are here, until you have to walk them. Holy cow! Officer Sanchez pulled onto the shoulder, with light flashing. She asked for our I. d. 's and said "hello" to our dog, who wasn't inhibited at all about showing how happy she was to see her. Plus she didn't mind putting our furry girl into her nice, shiney, black, new police SUV, along side us, for a ride all the way home. She friendly chatted with us, smiling and laughing and sharing opinions about artificial intelligence, among other things. She was kind and respectful to us, from the moment she approached us, until we parted . Thank you officer Sanchez. You're GREAT!

A speed trap is not a police car parked behind a billboard, waiting for you to drive by to clock…read moreyou going too fast. Because if the speed limit is clearly posted, then whether you saw the cop or not when you were speeding doesn't matter. A speed trap would be an officer putting something in front of the lower speed limit sign which would lower your speed from 45 to 30 and then stop you because you did not lower your speed. You tell the officer you did not see a lower limit sign. Officer says "tough" and writes you a ticket anyway because he "knows the sign is there". You go back looking for the sign and he shows you where it is, but you cannot see it until you move the tree branch which is hiding the actual speed. Complaining that G'town officers are Horrible and unlawful because you did not see them ahead of time is too bad. I guess you want them to stop at the edge of the highway with their lights flashing so you will have time to slow down. That would be too dangerous. If the speed limit shows 45, the limit is 45 whether an officer is present or not. If you are going 65 because you do not see any police does not mean you are not speeding.

As soon as you enter the city you feel the eyes of the law on you. Ready to pull you over for going 3 or 4 miles over the speed limit. Which is very sad because the city of Lakeway is a wonderful place filled with great people. Too bad it's ruled by an oppressive government. The Lakeway government has created a "this is Lakeway" mentality to strike fear in the people who live and visit here. In fact the mayor kept repeating this when I met him at a house I built in Lakeway. All I wanted was clarification as to why my certificate of occupancy was denied. He could not give me a precise reason and just kept saying "this is Lakeway". Instead of being helpful and acknowledging the fact that their building codes enforcement office is overwhelmed and understaffed they have made it almost impossible to build in Lakeway. I really think they do this to discourage people from building there. They change their interpretation of the codes constantly and their office is so unorganized and mismanaged it's pathetic. Again the residents and the city it's self are beautiful but right now the government offices are a mess. I suggest buying an existing home and setting your cruse control to 30 mph lol
