Truckers driving through a small Colorado town claim they are being unfairly targeted by an ordinance they say is designed to enrich the community.
KDVR-TV in Denver reports that drivers are complaining they are being unfairly targeted, and at least one driver is suggesting other truckers avoid the community and not shop there.
Truck driver Jeff Winowiecki told the TV station the police officer that ticketed him said he was going to get every trucker coming through the that part of Erie. That officer, according to KDVR, issued 28 such tickets in 2016, the only officer to issue such violations.
The town says the weight restriction and tickets are a matter of safety.
