So I drove up 39 the other night from IL and although the POE was closed, I saw a flash go off as I drove past the off ramp.
Does every truck get a picture or was it just my turn?
Who will see this?
Can I look forward to increased scrutiny in the near future?
Badger POE.......

there's another scale doing the same thing. can't remember where though.
this could be my imagination. but i think it's used for logs verification. and accidents. -
We are the most photographed people on the planet. Get used to it. Your in a fish bowl. Think Qualcomm only tracks your progress? Guess what. Look at Google Earth, they see you 24/7.

That happened at that exact same POE to me today too. I thought that I was just seeing things. it was about 1230 pm when it happened. The other scale up on 94 near Eau Claire that has the camera out there didnt do it though.

that be the one i was thinking.
washington also does it. but i think they've replaced the bulb with infrared now. been awhile since i seen the flash. on the 82 -
Just so y'all know, there's also cameras at every exit coming north from IL, including the in-motion scales on I-43 north, and what looked like a new camera install at the exit up 43N where everyone goes north coming from Belvidere on that state road. Nothing at Darien last time I was there, but sooner or later I bet they just put one on US14 somewhere around the big curve.

That same POE also was screwed up on Thursday when I went through there. First off they pulled me in off the road ( for those of you that dont know the this coop they weigh in motion out on the road regardless of Pre pass or not) then they give me the arrow to go to the scale but right as I pull up to the split they switch the arrows and tell me to use the left lane. Then just as I get up to where the scale is the sign there starts flashing " STOP!" so I stop then it quick flashes over to " OK Go Ahead." It is possibly the weirdest encounter I have had there in years.
baha Thanks this. -
They also have them in Oshkosh on US 41 when they built the new bridges they put scales and cameras in the road at the North end of the spans. They have been getting a lot of guys there lately.Hammer166 Thanks this.

I read on a science website the other day, you are being tracked with your laptop and smartphone. The politicians claim it's strictly for retailers, so they know your routes, which gives them an idea where to advertise. Politicians never lie!
This will be problematic for serial killers who aren't tech savvy.Last edited: Sep 16, 2013
