Illinois State Troopers

GOOD -- A Bloomington, IL policeman had a perfect spot to watch for
speeders but wasn't getting many. Then he discovered the problem - a 12-year-old
boy was standing up the road with a hand painted sign, which read "RADAR TRAP
AHEAD". The officer then found a young accomplice down the road with a sign
reading "TIPS" and a bucket full of money. (And we used to just sell
lemonade!)


BETTER -- A motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding through an automated radar post in
Peoria, IL. . a $40 speeding ticket was included. Being cute, he sent the police department a picture
of $40. The police responded with another mailed photo of handcuffs.


BEST -- A young woman was pulled over for speeding. An Illinois State Trooper walked to her car
window and flipped open his ticket book. She said, "I bet you are going to sell me a ticket to the State
Troopers Ball. He replied, "Illinois State Troopers don't have balls." There was a moment of silence
while she smiled, and he realized what he'd just said. He then closed his book, got back in his patrol car
and left. She was laughing too hard to start her car.
