Vernon Hills, IL.
Vernon Hills, Illinois, a Chicago suburb, has passed legislation allowing citizens to check out radar guns from the local police department to catch speeders in their community. The radar guns are combined with cameras in order to instantaneously capture the car, license number, and the rate of speed. The citizens can check out the units for a week at a time. The police have stated that they, at this time, will use the data to issue warning letters to the violaters.

Actually... this sounds like a GREAT IDEA!!! Do you know how many cops you could catch with one of those??? I cannot count the times I've had cops go by me at speeds in excess of 80 mph without lights or sirens! Everyone ought to check one of those things out, catch the cops and turn it in to your local media establisment! Benjamin T.
