State Auditor Report

"This tiny village is a speed trap reliant on automated speeding citations to pay the bills. There's no other reason for it to exist," 
- State of Ohio Auditor Keith Faber, 2022

In 2004, the "New Rome law", O.R.C. 703.34 (previously 703.201) was passed which dissolved New Rome.  It has not been used since.  Could Brice be next?  Read the law here.

"An Early American Village"

"Early American" typically refers to the period in the history of the United States from the arrival of the first European settlers up to the early 19th century.  This era includes several key phases:
1. Colonial Period (1607-1775)
2. Revolutionary Period (1775-1783)
3. Early Republic (1783-1820s)

Brice was founded in 1880.  

This is a year after the light bulb was invented.  Four years after the telephone. Decades after the phonograph - and the camera.

Brice is not an early American village.  The slogan should be abolished along with the "village".

Brice by the numbers

Fines dropped after 2021 during the photo enforcement hiatus which ended in 2024.  Expect revenue to skyrocket!

Hear an Indiana Police Chief lament over their decision to buy Dodge squad vehicles.

Is Brice's Dodge Durango properly marked?

This photo appears to show the Dodge Durango lacks roof mounted lights, required to use the vehicle for enforcing traffic laws.  Read the full statute here
