Escort 9500i - did not go off and trooper gave me ticket

[MEM-TEK]

The officer could have also used just one shot of Ka band POP which will produce an alert on a Bel/Escort only 50% of the time, but only then if POP is turned on in the radar detector.

If the officer didn't lie, then I suspect that he illegally wrote a ticket based either on using POP alone, or that his radar gun was way out of calibration. I strongly suspect that his radar gun was deliberately detuned to operate a bit outside of the legally authorized FCC bandwidth for whatever radar band the gun is supposed to operate on.

[statusquo]

I'm also wondering if he profiled your car and written you up just for the hell of it as well.

I got one for some "Invisible Pedestrian" during a b.s. traffic grant for leo overtime. Of course, asking the officer "What pedestrian?" only enraged him and me following it with, "You must'a not seen him or hit him either as you were following me through the same intersection as well as the other two-lanes of traffic"

I turned it over to a lawyer which cost me almost $900, but he made the cop look like a fool on the witness stand and it got tossed since the cop wrote a bunch of stuff that was wrong on the ticket as well - 4 things wrong actually - and he was a traffic cop. If there was a pedestrian, I would have paid it, but it became an issue of principle from a lying cop to justify his overtime. It was one of those "grant money" stings where they get outrageous overtime money on their normal off-day to write a lot of tickets in a short 4 hour period of time, i.e. "Maximum Enforcement."

Anyone who believes a cop always tells the truth on a witness stand is seriously misled. A good traffic lawyer can rip them a new one. It makes it worthwhile to watch them crumble in court when a good and mean lawyer goes at them when they should know better. When the court audience snickers, you know you've won. Retribution in public in front of their fellow officers waiting for their traffic court turn is a b!tch, and it's really funny to watch too!

Moreso when the lawyer high-fives you in the hall and the cop makes some sneering remark upon leaving.

If you can afford a lawyer, get one and sit back and watch the show.

or has it? perhaps this is the first FORUM user to show you a TICKET resulting...since thats your running defense which holds very little water. the day you can PROVE to me that EVERY TrueLock user has posted on this board after a ticket is the day I believe that stupid theory.

if he was in range of a lockout with the same band, it most definately could be a lockout that LOCKED out a LEO.

I'm not always right, but I can read. This had absolutely nothing to do with Truelock. Keep searching Radarkid.

GPS filter was turned on, but I have never filtered that location before as it was a special trip I have not traveled before.

Did you even read the original post. He said he was in a new area he normally does not travel and didn't use any lockout.

I agree the initial replies were irresponsible and unhelpful. I respect V1 owners I don't bash them for their personal choice. It's a different style/use of a detector.

We can all help each other in their use of their respective choice. Which the initial replies didn't do.

The 9500i isn't perfect and neither is the V1.

Yeah, it's pretty funny. He wants Truelock to fail so bad to justify his misunderstanding, but 9500i/ix/ci's continue to sell like hotcakes and there are still no reports of failure. Living life hoping for something that works for just about everyone to fail is totally sad. It's hilarious!
