    Default Is This Truth??

    Police in the USA are now selling radar detectors they confiscate! January 2008.


    Can anybody see the hypocrisy of the US police department confiscating a radar detector or recovering one and then selling it at auction? This Cobra radar detector Model:ESD9850 is now up for auction on a popular police auction website Government Auctions. It is extremely ironic that the police are selling a radar detector that is essentially designed to hinder police work. Surely if the police are selling radar detectors then they endorse them. Or does this prove their highest priority is simply revenue raising? Apart from that, the auction is currently only $27 so somebody is about to get themselves a bargain (well for a Cobra anyway

    Yeah this is funny. They sell worthless RDs to make people want to speed and think they won't get caught then when they do get caught make more money off their speeding tickets. Evil!!
