They can't?!?!?  Maybe not legally then, cauz they sure as hell took hers!  I
guess the cop was just being a jerk then!  She bought and paid for the IROC,
but it was in her fathers name (insurance) so I guess the cop wanted to prove a
point to kids joy-riding in Daddy's car...  As far as those cameras go, I've
noticed a few suspicious looking black boxes mounted up high on lights here in
Vienna, but they are seldom in the same place for long - maybe they're just
testing or something, maybe they're something else.  Dunno.  Also, one
afternoon the light on Route 7 in front of Tyson's Corner had cops all over the
place (including in the cherry picker) doing heaven knows what, so I'm just
real cautious in this area now.
