scotia, ny

Scotia, NY is a small town with a population of around 8,000 just outside of Schenectady. There is a tiny strip of village along Mohawk Ave. known for nothing else put cops pulling cars over for every and anything to pad the coffers. If you read the local paper The Daily Gazette you will notice the police blotter is filled with no other crimes but traffic infractions from Scotia. It is like shooting fish in a barrel. The village is however small enough to go around it to avoid tickets. The villages only attraction is Collins Park which is overrun by geese that defecate everywhere. The only good thing is if coming from Schenectady, Collins Park is just over the bridge so you may make it to and from the park without being pulled over. That is if you go on a day when a Scotia officer is not waiting on the bridge to ambush.

You better detour around Scotia, NY, you have one of those tree air fresheners hanging from your rear view mirror and they will ticket you for obstruction of view.
