    Default Cop car had radar turned off?

    I was at a red light at 2am and there was no other car around. A cop car pulled up at my tail and the V1 didn't make a sound at all. Then the cop made an abrupt U-turn and gunned it toward the other direction. What was he doing?

    Probably just driving about patrolling the area without his radar on. He most likely was responding to a call when he pulled the U-turn.

    at 2am he was going for doughnut dough (say that 3 times fast). I have heard doughnut dough is better than cookie dough

    I saw another one tonight hiding at a road work site with a bright laptop like screen in the car. My V1 didn't make a sound.

    It's a radar detector not a cop detector...

    no radar on is my guess. or prolly ran your tag looking to pull you over and got called to something else.

    ive actually seen highway patrol sleeping in their cruisers in FL. a few of those 'i wish i had a camera' moments.

    i even remember the local PD setting up dummy-cars at intersections. they would park a marked unit on the shoulder with a manequin in uniform; then randomly it would be a live officer.........done it here in AZ at border patrol checkpoints as well. they are sneaky!

    It is also possible that the patrol car didn't have a radar gun at all. The Sheriff's department in the next county over has very, very few radars.
