Welcome to the RadarDetector.net online message board!


This forum is hosted by "Radar Roy", a retired police officer who is also a certified traffic radar instructor with over 20 years of Law Enforcement experience, and a consultant for RadarBusters.com.


In order to make this forum as friendly and informative as possible, we ask that you follow just a few simple rules:

2) All materials, posted or linked must be PG-13. You are not permitted to post foul language, racial epithets, sexual or explicit content, insults, attacks on individuals, or references that degrade anyone based on their race, color, creed, age, or sexual preference.

3) No post-count padding. To help curb spam, conserve bandwidth, and most importantly protect the members of RadarDetector.net we have instituted a feature that limits what guests can see, as well as new members. Take your time and contribute positively to the community, and you will reach your goal in time. Use this time to introduce yourself, explain what you hope to achieve from RadarDetector.net, and if you have been lurking for a while feel free to help a member out. If you try to circumvent this by posting a lot of pointless, one-line nonsense, or by complaining about the policies, you will be banned.
0 Posts = Ability to post in the Introduce Yourself Forum.
