    The only time i ever get a faulse is when some one with a crappy detector gose by and its always POP.

    I had only one LEO use POP on me he shot me with POP and then Cold Fired Ka and then pulled me over and trired to write me a ticket. Heres the best part when he hit me with POP i was speeding but when he got me with Ka i wasnt so i told him to stick it up his corn hole. I told him the name of his gun and that he couldnt write me a ticked and he when back to his car. I watched him he got on the radio, he then came back and gave me my licence back and told me to slow down and he walked away

    What was the type of his gun? How did he not just say that you were still speeding during the Ka shooting? You got lucky!

    I run with POP off, no regrets. Turning it on will result in some POP falses. I have to wonder if POP will fizzle out altogether in the future due to it's inherent inaccuracies, and the additional burden of proof on the enforcer that POP was not used to issue the citation.

    POP off. After running 1000 miles a weekend last year for 8 months, I just couldn't handle all the falses.

    NO they have to switch to another method to get your speed to write you a ticket, thats usually when the switch the RADAR to constant-on or instant-on................... BUT just because they "cant" doesnt mean that some wont
