I have a pni silver bullet, it is mounted on my visor. I was just wondering if anyone had ever had a cop drive by and notice it on the visor?

i live in minnesota and i've had a cop pull up to me at a stoplight before and look at my detector for a second but it wasnt on my visor
Your problem is Spectre not an eyeball of the RD but I have heard of police spotting the RD in the car'
First off.............Get a Real RD............ :wink:Originally Posted by canadian
We had one member here from Ontario I believe. He pulled into a Tim Hortons, and a Cop getting his donut fix parked beside him and then saw the RD.
It was promptly seized with of course the appropriate ticket.....
I would suggest you consider an STI...........make sure you buy it from Roy.
Hey Canadian eh.......going to have to get rid of your pni silver bullet.........it's going to be detected by the Spectre, taken away and fined :!: :!: :cry: :cry: Best to get the only undetectable RD out there..the STi driver. I think the ones on this forum from Ontario are using them, including yours truly. Buy it from Roy. I have a Escort Cordless Solo and very wery using it :!: :!:
I would have fought that and totally won. There is no way he could have proved that I drove on the road with it. I could have put it on my winshield just to drive into timmy ho's. The cops don't have jurisdiction in a privately owned parking lot for crap lke that.Originally Posted by the horn13
It's a difficult angle.
Obviously the detector wasn't manufactured on the property of that parking lot and the car was neither. So the logical explanation is that the detector was inside that car (or another motor vehicle) and drove to Tim's. Even if the RD is in the trunk unplugged it is illicit in Ontario. The only legal way for an RD to be on the road in ONT is for it to be in a sealed package, on a Beltronics truck taking them from Bel's factory to a distributor outside of Ontario.
But yeah it could be argued.
In fact, the poster who that happened to could have just refused to give it and been okay, but unfortunately he didn't. No big deal it was a ****ty Cobra
Its simple, one of his friends rode it in on his huffy.Originally Posted by SmaartAasSaabr

Speed measuring warning devices
79. (1) In this section,
“speed measuring warning device” means any device or equipment designed or intended for use in a motor vehicle to warn the driver of the presence of speed measuring equipment in the vicinity and includes any device or equipment designed or intended for use in a motor vehicle to interfere with the effective operation of speed measuring equipment. 1996, c. 33, s. 12.
Speed measuring warning device prohibited
(2) No person shall drive on a highway a motor vehicle that is equipped with or that carries or contains a speed measuring warning device. 1996, c. 33, s. 12.
They wrote the law very wisely in Ontario...........
By law you can't carry an Rd in your vehicle period!
The Judge would simply rule.......you drove to the Tim Hortons....therefore you are violation of section 2......GUILTY!
Also....FYI the cop waited for this person to leave and then stopped him on the road..... :wink:
You would have a serious argument here.
The cop cannot "guess" as to how the detector got into the car before the Tim Horton's parking lot.
Perhaps your friend mounted it on a bicycle and drove to Tim's--then gave it to you so you could test it out on the automatic door openers.
Years ago, I was mounting my detector on my visor and hiding the cord after filling up at a Shell station. A guy walks up to me, and flashes his badge, and tells me that my detector is illegal and that they'll catch me someday using it. My answer was--it's not illegal at this Shell station (not a highway as defined by the HTA). Needless to say, I waited for him to drive away first (didn't need him following me and phoning the police to come and nab me.)
Don't be so quick as to assume that the police are always right. The law is there for them to enforce, but that same law is there to uphold what little rights we have left in Canada.
