Traffic Sting Catches Illegal Drivers

It was like shooting fish in a barrel for police at the Kane County Courthouse today. Officers worked with prosecutors to identify 38 drivers who had revoked or suspended licenses and had court dates today. So undercover officers set up shop at the courthouse and waited for these offenders to drive themselves to the courthouse for their appearance. And it worked. All told, officers ticketed 10 offenders during the sting and towed their cars.
