hate to start another endless thread on speeding limits, but this is an interesting privacy anecdote... hope this hasn't been posted here. === From: "Steven M. Horvath" <horvath@comm.mot.com> Subject: Speeder's Beware of Vernon Hills, IL. To: snet-l <snet-l@world.std.com> - - -------- FYI------------------FYI--------------------FYI----------------- 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. - ------- End of Forwarded Message ------- End of Forwarded Message
