Always remember, there's no such thing as "free" health care. You guys in the US will be paying your 40-48 percent income tax like we do in Canada if Obama gets his way. It's a nightmare up here. But, this is Canada, the Gov't controls every aspect of your life from the cradle to the grave.Quote:

Great system.

You got that right! Time for a revolution. Sorry, back on topic. Those rd laws really suck b***. As far as I'm concerned if they (law enforcement/govt.) have the right to "survey" us, we have the right to know they are.Quote:

I saw the Red Leds light up in his cruiser and bam he pulled out i knew I was not speeding I picked up his Ka band way in advance impressive for a Cobra lol. Ten seconds after I passed him he light me up. He immediatly asked me where the RD was first off. No brand name was asked for just a detector of any sort. When I passed him the crapra he handed it back and lectured me lightly that if I where you I would not use it for the rest of the drive out of the province cause there are going to be more opp looking for you down the way. I then listened and road blind for the next 20 miles lucky for me cause there was another officer using what looked to be spectre RDD right before sarnia. Now I own a spectre II RDD of my own, I sold my bel-sti and bought a redline, and also have a v1. Though, owning a Spectre II RDD I can tell you these guys are right. It does not tell you the model it merely distinguishes if one is being operated and which direction. This is only done by the use of a directional antenna by seeking out a stronger source in one direction as opposed to the next. There is no arrow, there is no brand identification like Laser Interceptor of pulse rates. Their equipment is not that sophisticated. I got lucky that night that he handed it back to me. Probably because it was a cobra and not worth keeping. As soon as he saw the plastic cobra you know he had to be laughing. :) Ahhh the old stories of before I knew all the vastness of now.
Alpine-
Alpinestars, you're the one in and a million exception with the OPP. I can't believe he gave it back to you. The only thing I can think of why he handed it back to you is because you're from the US. We would have been nailed to the wall. Glad you got away.
80% of the time I do not speed, even though I have a V1 and a laser jammer. I work at a nuke plant in rural SW New Jersey. Lower Alloway Creek police just luv giving speeding tickets to the nuke workers. Ditto for the port authority and Delaware State Police when crossing the Delaware Memorial Bridge to go shopping. About the only time I speed is when doing business in PA or going to New England.Quote:
