this is an interesting privacy anecdote... hope this hasn't

Vernon Hills, IL.
Vernon Hills, Illinois, a Chicago suburb, has passed legislation allowing
citizens to check out radar guns from the local police department to
catch speeders in their community. The radar guns are combined with
cameras in order to instantaneously capture the car, license number, and the
rate of speed. The citizens can check out the units for a week at a time. The
police have stated that they, at this time, will use the data to issue
warning letters to the violaters.
