I do not defend scofflaws by no means but it's all about the money. Period. I get a kick out of some of these guys that deny that over and over again.
I would advocate mandatory jail time (3 days, no exceptions) and a modest fine for anyone going more than 5 over in a work zone where workers are present. Not for the 3rd offense, not for the 2nd offense, but the the 1st. I've had people say "you can't do that, there isn't enough jail space". My answer to them is, "that wouldn't be a problem because there wouldn't be anyone speeding if they knew they had 3 days in the cooler comin' if they did".
I am an Illini, born, raised and will probably die in Illinois but this is absolutely the most screwed up state in the Union in no small part thanks to us being blessed with Chitcago being within our borders.
