Gov. Blagojevichs` decision to start using cameras to catch speeders on the states interstates to raise money for more police is not necessary. By using the patrol officers that have been freed up from their normal enforcement duties would suffice. It was also reported, only those excessively speeding would be ticketed would soon be lowered to anyone exceeding the posted speed limit once everyone slowed enough to the point not enough money was coming in to support the new task force.

If you liked the stop light cameras, you'll just love the speed cameras!

Novel idea!!! don't break the law and the cameras won't bother you.

Let me guess, you NEVER speed. Surveillance by Big Brother Rod. Just another benefit of living in the Peoples' Republic of Chicago.

Actually that's the problem. People are being sent red light tickets and have to go to far extremes to prove they were not there.

I speed all the time and will continue to do so. Just as laser guns came out - laser detectors did a few months later.

There are ways around this law .... but not speeding is just INHUMANE! LOL - actually it's impossible. For those that say, I never go more than 5 over the limit - hey, you are speeding. Or, someone driving 5 under - hey, you are speeding!

I cannot see our lawmakers approving such a crazy idea. I seriously doubt it'll decrease traffic fatalities that much .... but will increase the fine revenues by $40-50 million!

I am surprised at the lack of feedback on this issue mainly from Illinois bloggers. Maybe you should put the blog back up but on the NEWS folder.
