Noticed a cute little micro(ish) van parked in the middle of east brainerd rd near the wall. (I was headed west the little van was as well)
It had a big tinted window in the back. When I was beside it I saw "Speed enforcement" or some such and hit the breaks (I was going 43 or 44 at the time)
When I looked in my mirror the passenger side of said little van was full of camera/radar gun.
I can spot the big vans easy but this little thing can hide anywhere.

City probably uses it to try to catch drug dealers, car thieves, and such in the act. Reckon?

I looked and didn't see any "warning" signs. the dang thing is probably "shooting" out both ends with those big windows ... Hey Chattanooga, wanna trade one of those cute vans for a Honda???

Funny thing is they can illegally park, block sidewalks etc.... and not be ticketed. You or I try it and bam, we get a ticket.

Leave Cleveland out of it. We had the sense finally to eliminate all cameras and speed vans. We make our PD work for a living we still finally agree after a $25, 000 loss the spirit of the Constitution is alive and well. We rejected socialism.

Actually I think that a State supported police force paid for with taxes extorted from the populace is clearly socialism. We obviously need to replace these socialist organizations with a well organized (vigilante) militia
