you can register on that forum and ask the person who got a ticket questions
***MY X50 NEVER FAILED ME***
I sold it because of a video I saw and it did not detect laser and I wanted arrows.
Well, that said it all. When you add some things to it, it gets confusing specially when you don't know what was added.Originally Posted by f_399
My best friend bought a Stalker Sport K band handheld and we went around in my car sortof pretending we were policemen. He was sitting in the passenger seat literally 12 inches from the X50.
The Escort never failed to alert after more than 1 second. I have no idea what the rest of you guys are talking about. Maybe bad units? Maybe if we tried it head on we would have had different results....
The stalker was a very powerful gun, as he stood on an overpass on the freeway as I did circuits to find the range. I got consistant alert at beyond 3 miles around a curve. That goes to show you how powerful that particular gun was. Maybe police radar is a lot more powerful?
It looks like the Sport even has more power output than the police units. Here's the power output for the Sport and two police-version Stalkers on K-band:
Stalker Sport (K-Band)
15 Milliwatts Nominal
Stalker Basic (K-Band)
2.5 mw mininum
5 mw nominal
10 mw maximum
Stalker Dual
5 mw min (K-band), 10 mw min (Ka-band)
10 mw nom (K-band), 25 mw nom (Ka-band)
15 mw max (K-band), 50 mw max (Ka-band)
So my theory is shot down. Thanks Jim. Wow. I didn't notice the stalker dual Ka had the capability to use 50 mW of power!
Yeah looks like the sport gun is pretty powerful though
Seat belt tickets are non-moving violations that do not get reported to the insurance company. There is no need in pleaing it down, and I dont think its possible to plea it down.
Yup. We were sitting on an overpass just waiting to see someone fly by with a radar detector. We saw a Bimmer go under and I hit him. "101" came up! By that time, he was down to 70 in no time flat, he must of been one of us!!
Re: Read this...
A post from another siteI added some highlights)
So I was coming home from class and school is only about 2 mins away, really, 2 mins away so I never put on my seat belt from there to home, but I wish I did today.
We're at a light where one lane turns and the other one goes straight and he pulls up (motorcycle) and I'm like "oh ****.. I'm not wearing my seatbelt" and I wanted to put it on but that would have been obvious as hell.. anyway, the light turns green and he pulls me over when I start moving. He turned out to be a pretty nice guy, it went something like this
Me: Hello officer
him: hey, I pulled you over cause you weren't wearing your selt belt, I need your license and proof of insurance
*hands it over*
him: Is that a radar detector?
me: yup
him: does it work?
me: you tell me, ha ha
*he goes to print up the ticket and comes back*
him: OK I just need you to sign here, buckle up!
me: Thanks
him: Want to test your radar detector?
me: sure
*goes to grab his radar gun*
him: ready?
me: yup
So he gets in front of my car and shoots
about 7 seconds later my radar detector finally goes off
he comes to my side and says
"wow thats a long delay, I know a guy that had a 2 second delay. I guess I know which one I'm not going to buy"
So he tries it again but this time he's holding it right up to the radar detector... again 5-7 second delay.
Anyhow, I have an Escort 8500, which I thought was pretty good but there is a 7 second delay at point blank range. Thats kind of dissapointing...
So my question is, how much is a seatbelt ticket in California? I just want to pay for it and get it out of the way.. I hate going to court.
