Van Alstyne - going or coming on 75. They have an unmarked, too. They’ll sit juuuuuust over this ridge where you can’t quite see them until you top the hill.

Escort Passport 8500 X50 - works like a charm. Had mine for 2 years and NO tickets. “Sees” them good ‘ol boys several miles away.

Reminiscent of Robin Hood and the old English highwaymen. Rob the travelers in the boonies and share the loot with the local yokels.

I used to drive down that particular section of highway daily, and I always saw at least one driver pulled over by a Ferris PD unit. Every day. And Palmer was just as bad. I just drove the speed limit and cursed the !@#$#@!.
