I always thought that it would be a dirty trick to place a cop car behind one of those check your speed things, cause most people slow down for it because their radars go off then speed up again and think they're safe.
Or people figure out when one of those speed things has sat out for a long time and they try and go by it and see how high they can get their speed


There was one that me and a few friends use to see how fast we could go past it. They must of caught on because after a while if you were doing more than about 15 over the speed limit it would just flash "SLOW DOWN"

They're not all really undercover cops right? They might the detective's personal car, but still had all the police car equipment. Only the unis drive around in the marked cars.

I could understand if you just pay the fine, but insurance goes up too. That sucks.

Im going to sticky this post in the electronics section to put an end to the dumb debate regarding which radar is better. Assuming all radars are EQUAL in detection distances and all that crap (the good ones are all the same)....NONE of them would have saved you with the exception of the V1, all due to the arrows. So, the next time you guys want to know why the arrows are a big deal, here is a PERFECT example. V1 is still king, and thanks to a monster patent, it will be king for the next decade.
