Another fun thing that Herndon cops like to do, though it's been
a while since I've seen it. They park a marked police car in a prominent
place (usually in the median strip of Elden St), mount a radar gun on it
and stick a mannequin in the drivers seat. Really makes you do a double
take the first time you see it. Also they have motorcycle officers using
radar, and they like to hide behind bushes and trees. They're very hard
to see until you're almost on top of them.
