Encounters with an officer who turns out not to have been on duty are a recognised category of roadside account, and they are almost always explained by an ordinary patrol and a bad memory. They are also among the hardest reports to dismiss when the witnesses have a ticket in their hands.

Rural Illinois cemeteries of this kind are unlit, unfenced and frequently visited at night by people who should not be there.

The cemetery is public but is a burial ground and should be treated as one.
