GARY C. KNAPP for The Virginian-Pilot
Trooper Jerome Craig patrols near the interchange of I-64 and Route
44, using Hawk radar. In 1995, the Virginia Department of State
Police arrested 47,998 drivers - more than 130 a day - for speeding
in Division V which includes the Southside and Peninsula.
The Hawk radar unit, held by Trooper J.J. Della Vecchio Jr., allows
an officer to measure the speed of traffic moving toward or away
from him from either a stationary or mobile position.
