You might want to look into getting a radar/laser jammer. There are also websites that list where speed zones are in each state.

if you don't think he got you in a proper manner, ie POP or something, fight the ticket. otherwise, pay it like the rest of us.

oh wait, i've never gotten a speeding ticket in my life.../obviousbragpost

How'd he know how fast I was going?


Regardless I hate being profiled. Honestly, I could have a nun in my car and still get pulled over some other car.

combination of luck and paying attention, i've never had a radar detector either. i just have always seen them before they get me, or i've never been going fast enough when they gunned me for them to bother.

If he used POP to get a quick read on the speed, but did not follow-up with a normal radar hit - you can likely win in court. Pretty sure the manufacturers of the POP guns all specify that POP is only supposed to used as an indicator as when to actually use the regular mode.

Can not remember where I read it and I am currently all doped up following a cervical procedure done this morning to care about looking it up.
Ive heard this too.

He said I was going 80 which is what it said exactly on the speedo but my radar didn't even blip. I got a passport escort. No laser signal, No K signal, No Ka signal appeared. How'd he know how fast I was going? Regardless I hate being profiled. Honestly, I could have a nun in my car and still get pulled over some other car.
Your admitting to speeding on a public forum...
