Fairway Dr near Towanda Ave
UNMARKED officer sits on Radliff Rd using radar on Fairway Dr
Towanda Ave between Jersey Ave and Emerson St
Officers park on side streets Imperial Dr, Mays Dr, Fleetwood Dr or in the Ewing Park parking lot using radar
On Main street by Fairview pool
An officer will park his car in teh ISU parking lot next to Fairview and take radar. You will not notice his vehicle because it looks as if it’s just parked there. I’ve seen this on numerous of occassions.
North and Southbound U.S. Hwy. 51 between Illinois State Univ. and Illinois Wesleyan
I’ve seen on multiple occasions police checking speed and making traffic stops (and also for possible DWI’s) between Illinois State University and Illinois Wesleyan University around 8pm, and again between 12am and 2am. Specifically: near the hospital, the lot just north of 707 liquor store, and the mechanic near Apple Street. My radar detector always goes crazy around midnight, and 9 times out of 10, it’s a cop. They’re starting to use Laser now more than Ka band, so they have your speed.
