Rush Springs police are using unmarked cars to radar gun motorists as they enter the zone where the speed changes from 70 to 45. The unmarked cars relay the info to officers in police vehicles who make the traffic stops.

While driving down highway 81, I was distracted by an all-black hatchback car with black tinted windows. It matched my speed (70mph) then suddenly slowed down a lot. I looked in my rear view mirror and saw a white circle flash in the car’s windshield. I was startled and puzzled, then I realized it was probably a radar gun flash and I suddenly saw the 45mph sign ahead. I hit my brakes and slowed down immediately. Then I saw a police SUV ahead at the intersection. The officer turned on his lights and pulled me over. I am almost certain that he did not radar gun me or witness me speeding, as I wasn’t in his view when I was distracted by the black car and speeding.

Be very careful when passing through this area. Rush Springs has no qualms about using unmarked cars to follow and radar gun motorists and having officers issue citations for speeding incidents they do not personally witness or radar.
