Recently I told you about the experiment in the UK cities with the radar gun volunteers. It seems that this kind of therapy aimed to heal speeding drivers is spreading around…
Burlingame police, CA, is considering a plan that would allow residents to catch speeders. Two person volunteer teams will be given hand-held police radar guns, and how quickly jot down license plate numbers. With the same practice as in the UK, the stopped drivers won't be given tickets, but will receive warning letters from the Police Department which will notify them that they were caught speeding.
Police officers say that the goal of this program is to keep the streets safe. And the help of the volunteers will be very noticeable.
At this moment it's unknown when and where this program will take place. The biggest obstacle is hidden in the logistics of giving the ordinary residents traffic radar guns and training them.
