Big Brother Report

Keep a close eye out this summer as you cross into construction zones. IDOT has gotten a lot more strict about speeding. Instead of putting up signs and the occasional police officer, IDOT is positioning vans equipped with camerasto catch speeders in construction zones. At $375 for the first ticket,and $1000 for the second, this is serious. This should effectively slow all expressway to a crawl.

With the city of Chicago installing hundreds of cameras how long will it be before the Mayor does the same? I hate speeding and the carnage of cars, but the proliferation of cameras is sorta spooky. Panopticon, here we come.

Thanks,GB
