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.
