    Default My V1 did not go off when I was clocked vy radar!!

    I was driving at around 10 - 15 above the speed limit and I see a cop sitting in the ditch on the left. My radar stayed quite. I have almost the newest version of the V1. It went off a couple times and warned me of LEOs in the past hour. I passed the LEO without hitting my brakes and downshifted to the speed limit. The cop pulls out eventually and pulls me over. He says do you know how fast you were going? I believe around 5-10 over the limit. He says I was speeding at 15 over the limit. When I know it was faster. And he says he has me on Radar. Then he tells me that I cannot see the radar gun readout. Therefore, I am wondering did my V1 really not go off a single bit the whole time, or is mister LEO lying his ass off cause he is pissed that he is missing the Super Bowl. *Speeds and dialogue slightly altered to keep confidentiality, just incase…

    I thought by law if you ask to see the radar gun and the reading on it, they have to prove it to you... I would go see if you can contest it somehow, good luck man.

    are x,k,& ka enabled?

    if so this is tricky. I would head over to the beat your ticket section and start getting the discovery process started.

    sounds like you might of got taken for.

    yup, some times cops will BS and write out a ticket........... funny thing is the one time I got a BS ticket he said he locked onto me but on the ciatation itself he failed to specify RADAR or LASER by checking off one of the boxes.... strange

    usually if I ask to see the gun they'll show it to me, even my lawyer friend (not my actual lawyer ) says that you have every right to know because it's the evidence thats incriminating you and you have a right to know............... but most of the time I dont even ask, because I KNOW I was over by about the spped they say

    You can ask to see the gun in some areas and officers will show you it. I know there is one region that requires the cop to show the laser gun reading

    GPS Camera Locator-Cheetah C100

    The 3 main possibilities:

    1. The cop lied
    2. The Valentine One might need serviced
    3. The radar gun might be out of tune
