Exactly, especially in the neighborhood streets. I see so many people blowing stop signs and going 10-15 over. Sometimes this place really bugs.

Kinda curious is it taking pictures of the plates otherwise theres no proof. Unless the individuals are writing them down even then i would question it as saying someone in this car with this plate doesnt prove anything either. This will not stop anything especially in chicago.

I think this is a bad idea.
Yes people should drive slower, but putting law enforcement-type equipment in the hands of citizen is a confrontation waiting to happen.
I can just see some unbalanced road-rager stopping the car and confronting the person with the radar and possibly even attacking them.

Assault and Battery on the criminal side along w/ the civil liability thereof is certainly more expensive than a moving violation.

Some dont even care about the criminal side.
Whats next? Do they expect people to catch bank robbers for them also?

The police are not expecting anything. These are citizens ponying up and volunteering. It's the same thing as going down to the police station and signing a complaint (anyone can do that), but this way they have the tools to gather more hard evidence.

The type of people that would fly off the handle and lay a beat down on someone over that is not going to car about the law.

Most people who fly off the handle are a legend in their own mind.

i use to live on the street that was parallel to Algonqun in desplaines. when algonquin was under construction my street became the alternate to most of the local traffic. lots of locals finally got the cops to come and start pulling people over. talking to the cop one day he said the only people that he has pulled over where people that live on the street.
careful what you wish for.

The ones doing it for a power trip are also probably the ones who have a 'defensive' weapon close by for those who fly off the handle and are dumb enough to get out of their cars and approach the person by trespassing on private property.

Or who's going to be the first to get drunk and have their buddies see how fast they can get on the radar.
