    Speed trap in Sheridan

    FYI. Around 285 and Federal (right before the Sheridan exit), the Sheridan Police has/had a van parked on the westbound side snapping pictures of speeding vehicles in the construction zone. Can't miss the van or the bright ass flashes. This was about 215p today. I know it is a bit late, but it may be a reoccurring thing.

    They are there constantly and switch spots often to keep people guessing. That van is sneaky as hell, newer silver chrysler town and country.

    Welcome to the past 3 months. Guess I can't give you too much shit since you just moved I think. It is a regular occurrence around the construction there.

    Thanks for sparing me, I think. Yes been here 1 month. Yea people at work were talking about it, but I never seen it till today. I rarely go that way, unless I am in my work car. Yea it was Silver or White, very conspicuous, can't miss it with it's decal stuck to the side.

    Yea same difference. I have seen the bike cops out there trying to hide, but never the vans on that road.

    Haha. That or the bright ass flash it shoots off as it catches the vehicle in front of me. If it catches faces of people in the car, I can just imagine the people expressions.

    If its a minivan now then it is a big upgrade from the 90's Astro van they used to have , big indication of how much speeders it is actually catching.

    Up in Alaska, they would get the most f'ed up vehicles like a '90 Astro van and sit up on the overpasses trying to catch someone speeding.

    Would it be illegal to politely place a biodegradable plastic bag over the camera on one of these vans?

    Illegal, yes, but if you do it correctly then they wouldn't know it was you, right?

    The decal said Sheridan Police Department. It was on a rectangular magnet on the sliding doors in white with blue lettering.

    No worries. The van looked similar to the pictures that you have, but the back windows were tinted I think, but can't remember.

    Not a guy, but you're welcome.
