B) I can tell how fast you are going to a reasonable degree of accuracy so I will pick and choose which targets to hit.
C) Even if Yours goes off and i hit you twice more and you're decelerating. You're got.
Most cops will give you 10+2 on the freeway. That's at a 60 speed limit.
At a 70 Speed limit, you're chances of getting a break go down.
Oh, I always give tickets to the guys with the detectors. If you got it hanging up, It's assumed you speed all the time. (unless you're another cop of course.![]()
professional courtesy after all).
Be Smart. Be safe.
next time you stop someone for speeding.. why not ask them the brand of their detector.. i am very sure that it wouldn't be a valentine or beltronics model.. since we heard you like 4-5 miles away..Originally posted by capt_tast@Sep 6 2004, 12:05 AM
