You obviously have no respect for authority. Do you know any police officers? Do us all a favor and next time you see one call him "a pig".

My uncle and father are both cops, and funny enough, my dad could probably get that ticket thrown out. Unfortunately we don't talk much, so sorry pshreck. oh, and [censored] dead.

You'd be correct.

No thanks. And that doesn't make me a pussy either. Most cops are above the law and I wouldn't be able to touch the pricks. I could call him that but then he would probably find some bullshit charge to arrest me on.

Plus, check this ruling out:

HELENA, Montana (AP) --Cursing at someone is a crime if the obscenities can be considered "fighting words," and it doesn't matter that the remarks are directed at a police officer who's been trained to keep his cool, the Montana Supreme Court said.

In October 2000, Malachi Robinson swore loudly at Missoula County Deputy David McGinnis, who was parked in his squad car, calling him a "(expletive) pig," according to court documents.

McGinnis got out and confronted Robinson, asking him "if there was anything he wanted to talk about." Robinson swore again at McGinnis, who arrested him. Robinson was convicted of disorderly conduct and fined $50."

So, as you see, we don't have freedom of speech when talking to cops. And that's lame.

But this thread is getting off topic. The topic is Pshreck getting a bullshit speeding ticket.

He was mistaken about radar detectors being illegal in CT. They are not, in fact, illegal, so I was informing him of that fact.

I've been pulled over for not using a turn signal, not wearing a seat belt, and using a cell phone while driving. NY laws are fascist. The only one they had a legitimate beef with was not using the turn signal, because I should be using it. But the other two were bullshit.

I also own this hoodie, which I wear some days in the winter:

I guess I was thinking of one of the other states in the NE and some stories I heard about a few kids getting community service/ huge fines for having RDs in their car.

Now that I think of it, the stories may have referred to before 1998, but maybe I was thinking of NJ or mass, I travel in those states often.

The only two "states" in this country that have bans on non-commercial vehicles using radar/laser detectors are Washington, DC, and Virginia. If your vehicle is non-commercial and weighs under 10,000 pounds, then you can use it in every other place.

You should seriously get one. I haven't had a ticket since. Make sure the one you get is not just a detector but a jammer as well. A good one should cost you about $200 but it is well worth it. I see the pigs coming within a 2 mile range.

Unless laws have very recently changed in every state, this is not true.

[pshreck]

Interesting.

These things are not sold in stores though, right? I have to order it?

[AustinDoug]

You mean the jammers actually work? I thought that was a bunch of crap. What model do you use?
