Then you can clearly see that citizens were not being given the power to write tickets or warnings as you claim. They were recording tag numbers and giving that information to the police. They are radaring and it is apparently working as a deterrent. The police do not even write tickets based on the info. they receive.

Again, read the article.

Once again, I DID read the article, and actually understand what the article says. They are allowing private individuals to check out radar guns. The private individuals run radar on their own. They record license plate numbers of the people they claim are speeding (remember, there's absolutely no evidence except for what the individual says, it's not like the radar guns are attached to a video recording system), and then turn the plate numbers over to the police. The police then, based only upon the word of the non-sworn non-LEO, issue "warnings" to the owner of the vehicle. If you can't understand the dangers inherent in such a completely lax system, you've got "issues".
