Thread: Sneaky cop's ...

Why would you want a radar detector....

1. they only work when the gun is transmitting, the newer narrow beam guns means if the detector is going off then its usually too late.
2. they dont work against the Laser speed detectors and the ones with the high zoom feature if placed correctly can potentilly get you from up to 2 Km away.
3. they dont work against the point to point system
4. they dont work against the elapsed time/distance camera speed detectors (similar to the double flash speed detection for redlight cameras)
5. they dont (all) work if you;re getting scoped from behind

I had a copper once do me for not stopping at a stop sign and after a bit if a " chat" where he said I slowed down to almost nothing but did not come to a complete stop

To prove a point He said to me if I was hitting you with my stick would you want me to slow down or stop

Fair point give me the ticket and I will go.

Not true! A 21 yr old girl at work has been pulled over 17 times this year! She's on her P's... Granted... However, 17 times! What a joke. No fines, no real problems... Just being annoyed.

Back in the '70s one of our local Police cyclists booked a woman for exactly that - rolling through a sign. She remonstrated with him that she nearly stopped. His response was "Madam, if you were supposed to nearly stop there would be signs that had NEARLY STOP on them."
She then threatened him that she would report him to the Police Commissioner who lived locally and who had been asked by other locals to have the Stop sign policed. Never heard what the outcome was

Always the victim eh? I think you may find that there are at least some extenuating circumstances if it is really 17 times......maybe she is a crap driver or drives a crap car?

Nope, she's also a good friend.

She's been pulled up in 4 different cars (only 2 she ownded) over the last 6 months, only her latest has been questionable (3 times now). She's not a crap driver, and has a clean record from the word go.

She's keeping a cop diary too. Haha
