There is only one Minnesota. Rogers is on the very outskirts of the metro. I don't think they even have their own police force anymore do they?
I believe the Sheriff's patrol Rogers now as the acting police force. I could be wrong, as there were a lot of people opposed to the idea of having no local police to respond to problems? Same state, same general area, but way different police forces. Champlin is hard core, Brooklyn Park is actually a good force. They do little of the speed trap junk. I've certainly noticed a dramatic cut back in the number of cars pulled over again. There was a point where they were giving out a lot of tickets, but the public probably complained? The Sheriff's are pretty cool around here, actually. I've been pulled over a couple times and gotten off with nothing more than a warning. The local cops on the other hand....
Cities to avoid
Champlin
Anoka
Plymouth
Golden Valley
New Brighton
St. Anthony
New Hope
Minnetonka
Maple Grove
Columbia Heights
I've seen WAY more people pulled over in those area's than others. I don't get out to the east side of the Metro much, nor do I get up north a whole lot, but watch it in town St. Cloud, they'll bust you for anything.
Hey jimberg, you must be loving the expansion of Maple Grove, huh? I always drive a few extra miles to get out there. Even the Wal Mart is nice.
