And not to mention a radar detector does not work with pacing, timing or airplanes, all 3 ways stand up in court for a speeding ticket.

BTW, back in the day I used to be in the ticket of the night club just driving home in Longmont Colorado. Lesson Learned, never take a drunk 16 Y/O to her home after you find them staggering around on Main Street, it might be a cops daughter

 

Where I live (New England area), the police don't use pacing, timing or airplanes. I guess it would require too much effort on their part. All I ever see is a guy with a radar gun, or a car with radar mounted on the outside and active all the time. I haven't even seen laser in use around here.

I agree that a radar detector is not a panacea for speeding tickets, nor is it a license to speed. But when used intelligently, and in combination with smart driving (e.g. following a distance behind someone else going fast, etc.), it dramatically reduces the chances of getting stopped, at least in places where radar is the primary police tool to nail speeders. I haven't gotten a single speeding ticket in the last 20+ years I've been driving with a remote-mount radar detector installed in each car I've owned.

 

And some radar detectors, like mine, beep WAY too late for me to catch the cop before he catches me.

 

cops also hate it when you have a cb radio and radar scrambler in your car (oops)

 

A cop has never said anything to me for having the Rad. detector, of course it is to the left of me by the pillar, they may have not seen it.

 

yea a detector is fine (in most states) but a scrambler is reallllllly bad (maybe illegal) to have. Cops want to know why you ride by them at what looks like 20+ over the spd limit and the radar gun just shows a bunch of lines.

 

I didn't know there were radar scramblers available for purchase! I may need to invest in one.

 

Dude you got 20 in your MAZDA3?! Welll then again I have been pulled over 16 times... and only 2 tickets in the Mazda3. First one was a month after I got the car for 85-50. (keep in mind its KM/H not MPH). And my other one was funny. It was a 95 in a 80 but I got a letter from the ministry of transportation saying that I had to go to some sort of driving school to keep my license... 4 people later I find out I "got a ticket for 95-50" then I called the Guelph courts and they found out they made a mistake. So no points on that ticket and its been two and a half years since my other ticket so my license is cleaner then most of yours WAHHOOO. Oh yea and a ticket in my buddies 1995 Chevy S-10 for expired plates... 110$... FML

 

No jamie i said 20 mph over the speed limit, not 20+ tickets.

 

I'm talking about the OP. Apparently he has 20 tickets in his 3. HOLY ****T
