Under enhanced penalties passed by the Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Rod Blagojevich last year, first-time work zone speeders, including those caught on camera, will be hit with a fine of $375, with $125 of that sum going to pay off-duty State Troopers to provide added enforcement in construction or maintenance zones. Two-time offenders are subject to a $1,000 fine, including a $250 surcharge to hire Troopers, and the loss of their license for 90 days.
However, who is more dangerous? People not going through construction zones at the posted speed limit or State Police rocket jockeys?A St. Clair County Grand Jury has indicted a state police officer for killing two teenage motorists in a rather spectacular crash. In typical fashion, the police tried to cover it up.
Are the police interested in safety or just fleecing motorist?
