I just sold my house about 5 miles away from there last year!
Fort Stewart is in the area, and most military have out of state license plates are target for easy money. I made it three days when I honked at a jaywalker at the speed of a slug held up traffic. I was pulled over and fined for "failure to yield to a pedestrian." It was bogus, but I paid the fine. The attitude of the cop was completely condescending and I was treated like dirt... and I did nothing but be polite and cooperate. Once I converted over to Georgia plates, I had far less scrutiny when I lived there.
At the "29 Palms" Marine base east of Palm Springs, a female CHP liked to pull over and cite Marines on their way in to work. Apparently a couple of them had enough, and she ended up being hand cuffed through her cruiser door pillars with her drawers (including panties) pulled down to her ankles.
She was re-assigned to a different station shortly thereafter.

There was another CHP officer who liked to pull over truckers and give them bogus citations. He ended up transporting an older "troubled teen" who apparently got his service weapon, and that officer didn't write any more bogus tickets. -- The teen was prosecuted for murder.

And I was given a hard time from a self-professed "warlock" (his vanity plate), and he's now where he desired to go!
