FAYETTE COUNTY — The Fayette County Sheriff’s Office has a new tool for tracking speeders. The portable unit was purchased with grant funds from AAA Motor Club of Chicago.

This unit can track speeders and take pictures and violators caught on camera can be prosecuted.

The sheriff’s office has set it up in a few different places around Vandalia and Bluff City, and they plan to move it around the county.

This unit also has a tamper-proof system built into it and will stream live video back to the sheriff’s office should anyone try to move or damage the unit.
