Hallman<\/a> uncovered how the Texas County district attorney\u2019s office quietly turned traffic stops into a multimillion-dollar cash machine. Drivers were pressured to pay \u201cdonations\u201d directly to the DA\u2019s office to avoid prosecution \u2014 with no court records, oversight, or due process. The scheme, which generated more than $2 million over six years, is now drawing federal scrutiny and calls for reform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two days after Oklahoma Watch visited Guymon, the district attorney chose to end the public safety emphasis program. After Oklahoma Watch published <a href=\"https:\/\/oklahomawatch.org\/2025\/02\/12\/traffic-scheme-nets-texas-county-das-office-millions\/\">this story<\/a>, we were flooded with tips from the panhandle.
