Police see steep drop in speeding tickets

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
The top speeder in Cook County last year treated the Tri-State Tollway like a racetrack, buzzing by at 150 mph at 2 a.m. before being stopped by an Illinois State Police trooper.

A Sun-Times analysis of more than 120,000 speeding tickets issued in 2011 and 2012 in the city and parts of 13 counties surrounding the Chicago area found 25 percent fewer tickets were issued to drivers from 2010 to 2012.
