Documents obtained from the Missouri Attorney General’s office show that in 2013 drivers were more likely to be stopped for speeding in Rock Hill than Brentwood, Maplewood or Richmond Heights.
Through the Freedom of Information Act, KSDK News obtained records for more than 70 police departments in St. Louis, St. Charles and Jefferson counties showing how many stops officers made for speeding in 2013.
The data is for the number of stops, not the number of tickets.
