Illinois to start using Photo Radar in July ![/b]

Illinois will begin using photo radar in freeway work zones in July.
One mile per hour over the speed limit and the machine will get you a nice
$375.00 ticket in the mail. Beginning July 1st, the State of Illinois will
begin using the speed cameras in areas designated as "Work Zones" on major
freeways. Anyone caught by these devices will be mailed a $375.00 ticket
for the FIRST offense. The SECOND offense will cost $1000.00 and comes with a
90-Day suspension. Drivers will also receive demerit points against their
license, which allow insurance companies to raise Insurance rates.

This
is the harshest penalty structure ever set for a governmental unit involving
PHOTO speed enforcement. The State already has two camera vans on line
issuing tickets 24/7 in work zones with speed limits lowered to 45 MPH.
Photos of both the Driver's face and License plate are taken. Pass this on
to everyone you know who might be affected!!!

Watch some of the newcast on these things, shows you justice(public safty in this case) is always for sale. Cities cant afford for us to be good drivers.

You can always fight the ticket and use your right to face your accuser, unless the camera has wheels.

i think im gonna get a hide away plate on both trucks and when ever i drive past one of them ill just tuck it away and hide it, then when i get past it ill put it back ha ha ha

It wont be hard to spot your bagged X on the road.... lol
