Do not even mention that to a cop!! hahaha. Or that you pay his/her salary for that matter, that is even worse !!
Yeah, I might be blonde, but NOT STUPID! I never make smart a$$ comments once I have the window down. They get my full respect and consideration. I am hoping that I will just get a warning for good behavior at that point. :D

My dealer bought the first Hellcat they ordered. He was driving it home to his garage and got pulled over for doing 50 in a 55. Seems his employees forgot to put a dealer plate on his car.
I told him I thought it should have been 150 in a 55.

Laser detectors work, the issue is the time your laser detector picked it up, they also got your speed. Laser jammers are legal in most states (Radar jammers are illegal under federal law, dont get them mixed up). Laser jammers will give the officer holding the gun an error, in which they will pull you over just for that, but at-least they don't have your speed, right?
Not necessarily. Officers are trained at speed estimation. The radar/laser are used to confirm the speed. Most judges rule on the estimation rather than the confirmation. You could technically get a ticket for speeding and the officer might not even have a radar/laser device. Estimations are in a +/- 5 mph. This is at least true for NY. I don't know about the other states

If I remember right, can't 5-0 just estimate your speed and still give you a ticket? Radar, Laser or not? It would be your word against his(or her) and you know who the courts usually side with.

Yes at least in NY.
Usually leaving other cars in the dust and having the throttle body pinned down are a clue anyone can tell you're in "rocket mode". The exhaust tone doesn't help either….lol

Any time I have been pulled over, it has been radar and they are usually nice and give me a ticket for going less, but when I go to court the actual speed is always listed so, I just request a deferral and pay a fine. If I don't get caught for a full year, it drops off my record. This is why I need to get on the track. I can only get 2 deferrals a year and I speed 365 days a year....You see the odds here are NOT favorable.;)

I won one ticket, not for speeding, but 5-0 got me for pulling up too far on a stop sign, don't want to bore you with all the details, but I did what is called trial by written declaration, which if your not familiar, is you basically pay the fine first, not admit guilt and fill out a written declaration form with all the details, and send pictures etc. to support your case. The judge will look at it and give the officer a chance to respond, if he doesn't, or the judge rules for you, you win. Refund. The thing is that the officer will get OT if you GO into court to fight the ticket, so it is worth it for him, but by written declaration, he doesn't get anything. Now, they did not tell me whether or not he responded, but they just said that it was dismissed and issued a refund, nothing went on record. Plus, I had my cop friend help me word the declaration, so that might have helped. So that worked out for me.

There may be some of us that may need that wording you used...You know, kind of like plagiarizing, but you won't give us an "F" on our paper. :D

Well an officer pulls me over today in their blue loaded typical charger and its training day! He has a ride along!!! So, they walk up and it's the normal "You Know Why WE Pulled You Over" I said "no" He says you were speeding back there 52/45. I say if you guys wanted to see it you could of just asked!! Now you just burned up my warning in town. I have a camera mounted right here pointed in my car recording. "as I point to it " I think you pulled me over for the acceleration from 0-45 as the sound is very noticeable but I can prove I didn't speed. I then asked them how fast is your police car. While he and his kid drool staring inside at the "Punisher" which is My hellcats nickname! HE says not fast enough heads hanging in. They go back writ e the warning and hand it to me. the rookie writes the ticket and the vet tells me don't worry were not giving you a ticket a said "I know and said that My friend was also with me. As we pull away and they are still walking to their car I took off and rooster a lot of gravel on and by them. I pulled in somewhere real fast after that since I couldn't stop laughing. I wish i had a rear camera I would of had it recorded.

I have one of those double cameras mounted on my kitty to record peoples reactions in the punisher

It records the road and their face at the same time! It also does it in PiP which is really cool. I was given it free from a friend for just having the punisher................ anyway It has one main Camera & 1 smaller camera which plugs in to it.
It can record Her bouncing as you drive too hehehe!!!

Laser Absorbent Paint! Gimmick??? Or not?? You decide. When I was in the Air Force, we used radar absorbing paint on the SR-71Blackbird and the F-117 Nighthawk.

VEIL the laser absorbent stealth paint

Did you see that in the Challenger brochure from FCA? Sublime is radar and laser absorbing. It's the only color that does that. This is one of the reasons the Sublime has been so popular!
