Island Lake, Illinois Speed Traps

I got a ticket at this place a couple of years ago for four miles over the limit, I’m not kidding. The cop was sitting at the top of a hill and got me right as I crested the hill. Plus, the cop was a real jerk about it. When he asked if I wanted to see the radar he said that I "bought the ticket, might as well see the show" as well as other sarcastic remarks throughout. Went to court to fight it and lost. I don’t go this way much but have seen cops nearby on a couple of occasions.

Funny side story, I had to go to traffic school for this ticket. The class was being taught by a McHenry county cop. He didn’t believe that I got a ticket for four miles over. When I showed him the ticket he said "oooohhh, Island Lake". 🙂
