There were RADAR vans in Colorado when I lived there, white minivans with
cameras and RADAR. They thought about doing away with front license plates,
but then realized they would lose too much money from the vans (it was a
standard $40 ticket, not matter how fast you were going, and no points).
Funny thing was, there was some rule, they had to have a sign up, like 1/2
mile before the van, telling you there was a RADAR van ahead, weird.
