Twice my Pro 78 has gone off with a laser alert on the highway.

Here in Illinois, the State Police stand on the side of the tollway dressed as construction workers and use LIDAR. They then...

Quotas are against the law? I wish somebody would tell my Chief that!!! Actually, at least here in Illinois (I can't really speak about other States) quotas are perfectly legal as long as the...

I'll sidetrack for a moment about the LEO thing here....
There is not a single member of my department (40 or so sworn officers in patrol/writing tickets) who "likes" writing tickets. I don't know...

cell, I agree with you 100%. But Blagojevich has thought he is above the law since they day he was sworn in. From what I hear, he'll be joining our former Gov. Ryan in a matching jail cell one of...

Last Wednesday (June 11th I believe it was), I was on my way to work s/b on 94 about 4:30 pm. I know I was south of 137 and north of 22, but that's all I am 100% sure of. I think I was just north...

Bad news on that front. I spoke with an intern who spent some time inside one of the vans. He said that the digital camera is very advanced and can take superfast, multiple photos. If four cars...

I have yet to encounter an actual Photo Radar van. It will be very interesting whenever I do though. I will study it intensely.

The thing about radar is that the most accurate reading is...

I've now driven north and south on 94/294 twice with my new Whistler Pro 78. It's pretty cool.

All of the portable orange highway signs (trailers) give off K band. They're not very strong though....

I'm not sure on all of the above. I'm just starting out on this road to photo violations. The IDOT website says that the photos will be compared to the description of the registered owner and...

Here's my story:

I drive to and from work on a stretch of Illinois tollway that is under construction and will be for about two more years. The speed limit when construction workers are present...

I've done a bit of research on these vans here in Illinois. I even spoke with a guy who has been inside the vans while they were operating. It seems they have not been deployed in the area I...

allyoops: Wow! That looks like one of our Illinois State Police vehicles in front of the Chevy van and the plate on the van looks like a civilian Illinois plate. The "Stay Alive, Drive 45" with...

aust333: That sounds like very good advice. That's what I figured too, but I just didn't have any experience. I called RadarBusters (the Radar Roy site) and spoke with one of their...

jdong, what do you think of the Whistler Pro 78? I see your avatar is a Whistler detector so I'm guessing you might have some input?

Radar Roy's review of the Whistler Pro 78 was pretty good and...

Here in Illinois, the State Police will be using vans/SUVs for photo radar enforcement in construction zones.

I currently drive approx 20 miles of all construction zone each way to and from...
