Beware of the police I Pooler! My husband and I were traveling for the holiday weekend over Thanksgiving and decided to stop at exit 102 to get some food and rest. Bad idea, very bad idea! We are poor and have fallen on tough times. We were living out of our car but are humble pe ...Read More
ople in love so it's ok! Urban campers, woo hoo! We don't have a phone service so we use a wifi calling app for texting and calling Loved ones. This requires access to free public WiFi. So we grab some McDonald's and head to the microtel there and hop on the WiFi. We were there for about 20 minutes when we heard a radio behind us! Yep, two police cars blocking us in. Now I'll emphasize that no one from the hotel had called about us! The officer stated that he saw us sitting in the car and wanted to make sure everything was okay. Although what he was doing is a violation of our rights we wanted to dispell any concern and cooperate with him. We gave our identifying information and he cleared me but couldn't find my husband. He proceeds to pull out a box to fingerprint my husband and by now there's another car pulling in, oh boy we're not going to have a good night! I protest at this point as the stop itself was illegal to begin with and we had absolutely given a reasonable explanation for our presence. We were arrested for loitering and prowling, whaaaaa? Yes, impounded our car/home took all of our possessions that were on us off and put it in the car. Everything! Our wallets, phones, fifteen bucks we had, identification cards everything and locked it in the car. We spent twelve hours in holding them we were released on our own recognizance. We had absolutely no way to get the car as the tow bill was 160$ and will be $15 per day. We had nothing on us and one hoodie for two people. We ended up walking twelve hours over the Savannah bridge to hardeeville SC where we had friends. We are now homeless our car is gone because the tow bill is now over$400 all of our possessions are gone and we can't even rent a hotel room because our IDs are in the car. The police did this intentionally as the officers at the jail told me their doing this a lot even to men who are sleeping at their job sites. Disgusting abuse of power! Stand up against the police in Pooler Ga, boycott exits 102 and 104 in Pooler Ga so this will never happen again. Shameful the smiles that were on their faces as my husband and I begged them not to arrest us please don't take our home we will be done with no way to help each other. Begged them and they smiled at us! Please help by saying no to Pooler with us!

Little minded town that wants to be like Big Sister Savannah

This is a once small town that is growing-only because Savannah no longer has the room. Pooler's local government is still small-town minded, however, and is money hungry. I would NOT recommend moving here, no matter how close they are to Gulfstream as an employer. The town co ...Read More
unsel only cares for its wallets, and allows big corporations to build, not caring those same corporations cause flooding and other issues. The local city manager would rather hunt than do his job and any complaints regarding local rules are ignored during hunting season. Indeed, a local city council member traded her land for his hunting to avoid complaints regarding the fact she did not keep up her land. Pooler City Police are bullies and not trained for the increase in population and crime-please use radar detectors if passing through on Interstate 95. Unless you have your own weapon, living here is not advised. Public parks for children to play are non existent and anything after evening hours need so- called security to ensure safety and things will only get worse.
