subpena calibration records, speed surveys, etc then postpone, postpone and postpone, hope the cop doesnt finally show up, if he does try and trip him up. The longer you can draw it out the worse the cops memory will be and the easier to trip him up.

Cops will probably start sabotaging phone apps like they did with CBs ages ago. They'd give false smokey reports and false all clears.

I agree, I have to be very careful, I have a good reputation in that court, I am a glorified salesman with a license to practice law.

I love my Valentine. You can custom program the different radar band alerts or turn them off altogether. I really like it a lot more now that I only have Ka band on, none of the police forces around me use anything else, and on long trips I will turn the k band back on too if I don't know the area.

In Michigan it is mostly ka with a few sheriffs using k still. I'm seeing laser more and more though. My last speeding ticket was with a laser.

Most of the state troopers in CT are shooting laser. I've found the jammers work well against laser, but a detector just lets you know you'll have a ticket with five minutes. For radar, just about all the detectors on the market give you ample warning, although I agree the V1 is probably the best.

Waze is fantastic, but it does little to give you the heads up when the bears are on the move.

I once made the 940 Mile trip from my Moms house in Miami to my house in TN in 11:45 it was Christmas Eve & My B-Day, I was gonna use that if I had to.....An 82+ mph average isnt too shabby would have been better but I missed the last exit from I95 for the Turnpike and had to loop back. about 20 min lost....

That's an 80mph average. Don't ya just hate picky bastards?

Anyone use a police radio in their vehicle to monitor police unit locations? I realize that's getting rather intense, but a ticket is a ticket.
