Why bother? They're all released on I-BONDS anyway. Then they'll get back behind the wheel and do it again and again and.....

Thats about $70,000 dollars in business right there, it beats them walking around red lights pan handling for money like the elmhurst fire department does with boots.
The most exciting part is that now illegal immigrant aliens, 3rd world invaders get id's in illinois, so they can look more legitimate when they are pulled over.
