    Default Radar/Lidar Encounters in NOVA

    I'm getting increasingly paranoid about -every- car I see in NOVA (especially if it's American made). I'm seeing more and more unmarked traffic units of varing make and models.

    About 2 months ago I got paced and pulled over by a black Dodge Charger (the state trooper poked his head right in the passenger window. Didn't even see my V1 mounted to XXXXXXXXXX. Natch!). I've seen a Chevy Blazer ticket fools, Impalas of course, and I might have even seen a Viper....?! (Can anyone confirm a Viper sighting?)

    Basically I'm seeing more and more pacing and less and less radar (except on I-66 near 7100. State police are always there with Ka). I don't even remember the last time I got a lidar alert (maybe 3 months ago on US-28 near Dulles).

    They'll use any car they can to write as many tickets as possible in Virginia. They were even trying to pass a law last year allowing police officers issue traffic tickets out of uniform.

    All virginia cares about is revenue, and even with all these new laws this past year was the highest fatility rate virginia has had.

    That just means the laws and fines are needed now more than ever!

    Hrm... I guess that was pretty stupid of me, huh? I'm assuming police officers read this forum too?

    Why do you say that, we have the highest fines than any other state?
