Cops get sneaky to catch speeders
 

Driving into work today and notice a weird yellow in the snow on the side of the road.
Lo' and behold it is a cop laying in the snow with a radar gun peering from behind a lamp pole. These guys must be getting desperate to hit their ticket quota!

damn that is sneaky. End of the month, they need the extra income..

That's fucking desperate!! Luckily I long ago learned it's not worth it to speed! :thumbsup

You haven't seen the ones in my town. The cops here are known to ride in riced out Honda Civics.

first time I went to Canada we we're driving from Tornoto to Montreal and in the fast lane a cop about 1/4 mile ahead pulled over in the hazard lane in the middle of the friggin freeway. It looked like it was a driver with car problems. we get closer and out the blue the cop jump out and points the radar gun at us. We we're speeding but I think he was two late on getting us on radar. we didn't stay to find out. it was the funniset thing I have ever seen. I love Canada 'eh

haha how lame can they go :1orglaugh

here they just make up an excuse like, 'we had a report for a car like yours' and then just do as they wish from there.

Speaking as someone who's been hit by speeding cars, I'm glad they're being "lame". Here in GA, they can't ticket you via radar for less than 10 MPH over the limit. If I'm on a 45 MPH road and someone moron is going 60 MPH, then I applaud whatever efforts the police need to stop them. They CANNOT write you a ticket if you're not speeding, no matter how well they hide. :winkwink:

Traffic cops are pussies. Everytime they pull me over 2-3 other cops are called in.

Don't they also bring in the Jaws Of Life? :winkwink:

(I'm going to pay for that one, aren't I......)

If you think that's bad, move to St. Pete Florida! They act like a broken down motorist on the side of the road and hide behind the hood. They also post up on cherry pickers and make like city workers and are using laser rather than the traditional radar. Last year they even went as far as dressing the cops as homelss people on the side of the road (it was actually kinda funny because on their sign it read, "I'm a Cop so Stop Speeding").

They are relentless in their speed traps here and it's a huge pain in the ass! They also have a lot of undercover cop cars/trucks/vans that just drive up and down the interstates to catch speeders.

exactly.. that happened to me in Florida almost every weekend.

"We have a warrant out for the owner of this car. (pause) Have you been drinking tonight? (No) Sorry sir, this is the wrong car"

Peaches remind me not to be nice to you in Vegas, in fact this time I will take Shok to sushi and bill it to your room!!!


:winkwink:

On I-95? That highway is famous for drug running.. there is a reason they do that :)

Get pulled over a lot in Calif ?

That's OK - as long as I can charge my kid's sushi bill to Shok or you - you will not BELIEVE how much he can put down. :thumbsup

Don't be a naughty eskimo ...
and don't you eat the yellow snow :winkwink:

Yes, especially with a white woman in the car. :winkwink:



I can beleive it. When I was his size I used to....



ok I was never his size.

just get yourself a radar detector...and you are set
getting myself 1 next month

Cops don't even seem to give a shit about speeding in Dallas. I never see people pulled over, unless they're out of the car being searched, or being put in the backseat of the patrol car... and those obviously aren't just speeders.

Who has had success with their radar detector?

I have one. But my cigarrette lighter does not work, I broke it. lol

Ya cant use radar detectors in the great white north, you can get a ticket just for having one, and get it taken away. :thumbsup

Ya, Winnipeg is the same. I got in a lot of hell for using mine there.

well it's legal here (Israel)
a friend of mine has a Cobra Detector which is really good...
going to try it aswell...

i have those fucking speedtraps!

I've heard Valentines are better than Cobra:
http://www.valentine1.com/

Fuzzbuster is the only way to go.

i almost got cought rolling a stop sign today....if it hadnt been cause he was lookin down writting something, i would've been TOAST



here in canada if you get a ticket, you might as well bend over cause you;re insurance is gonna give it to you lube free

Ya, don't Cops in canada hang out at Tim Hourton's all the time. I learned that the hard way

a couple of hours ago i got jacked by a cop for a $5 bribe for not wearing my seatbelt...
hhaaha stupid third world mother fuckers.....

[this space left intentionally blank]

this is so true... i got a speeding ticket thanksgiving weekend. the dallas cop told me to request a court date and it'd get dismissed b/c he wasn't about to waste his time in court :1orglaugh

that's the one I use

valentine, simply the best. Only complaint I have about it is thats its big and bulky. I am hoping they will reduce the size on their next one?
