If you think they're bad try Kendall County.  I live in Boulder Hill.  The
only cops we have are the kids in the Kendall County Sheriff's Police.  No
one in the force is over 28 and none of them like their jobs.  Plus they
think that their radar units are magic.  and they can't catch a burglar
right in front of them, nor are they up on current Illinois laws.  They
once said that they had seen me driving at 50mph in a30 zone.  That would
have been quite a feat since I was asleep in bed at home at the time.  That
coupled with the fact that the engine was stone cold and the A/C cord was
still plugged into the side of the van and the neighbor across the street
said that he had been out front all morning and my car never moved
once.  It took the patrol sergeant to stop him from arresting me for eluding.
