In 2008, an owner in a 2000 single-family home association in Illinois was driving through the community at 34 miles per hour. The posted speed limit was twenty-five miles per hour. The HOA’s private security officer pulled the owner over with flashing lights and issued him a fine. The Rules also provided that if the owner had not pulled over, he could have been fined an additional two hundred dollars. The owner fought back and challenged the stop in a lawsuit that ultimately made it to the Illinois Supreme Court. The Illinois Supreme Court held that the Association had the right to pass rules allowing for security personnel to stop owners, to use radar guns and flashing lights on vehicles, and to issue fines for exceeding speed limits.
