So what is the Eureka jurisdiction for the Yurok Tribal Police? The last several days in a row there has been one of their SUVS blaze past me like a bat out of hell in the road construction area of the safety corridor. Usually at no less than 70 mph in a 50 zone. What could possibly be that important as to break the speed laws, the whole time being a horrible role model as well as endangering the lives of both construction workers and motorists. I’ve thought about calling their office to make a complaint. I likely will if it keeps happening.
