Some very wise individual had once said, "The Truth shall set us free!" Wouldn't this seem to be like a no-brainer? I mean, we all know that in order for 'justice' to be truly served in any court of law, 'truth' must be present. Right? Well, if that, indeed, is the case, why would the...
I would like to address the “rant” that was received from Mr. Marvin Burgess regarding the Willow Springs Police.
First let’s get an education on “Speed Trap”! A speed trap is an area of the road on which hidden police detect people exceeding the speed limit, typically by Radar. That...
