Interesting. It's like a governor placed on public busses, I imagine. It would allow them to drive to work, but not speed.

Illinois lawmakers are mulling legislation that would require chronic speeders to install speed-limiting devices on their vehicles.

There are provisions regaridng safety to community that could keep this individual in custody. How is the States Attorney managing to lose this argument?
