Escort 9500i - did not go off and trooper gave me ticket

[LordV]

At least try a V1!

Nah, no need to try a V1. It's far too chatty.That's been decided for all of us. Even if we disagree or don't hold the same distain for false alarms.

I'll take my "chatty" V1 and the arrows that hold no value anyday, and on any brand that presents them. With the exception of Cobra of course

The CI is just as chatty, maybe more.

yeah dude it has to be one of the 1000 excuses that were made up for you here on how you got a ticket, no freaking way your 9500i is in fault.. are you kidding me? its just impossible

every time I see a post about an escort product failing to do its job I see dj with his 1000+ scenarios on what could possibly gone wrong.
Even if you prove to the man that your RD is perfect condition they it will have to be a user error, it cracks me up

And for the record, true locks does suck so does the automute and GPS on the 9500i
Sorry thats the way it is, for me at least, I have witnessed it so many times on known busy locations, I am 100% positive on my statements.
Not one, but 2 9500is did the same thing.
The old school x50 escort was a better detector the 9500 series will ever be.
You are just paying for the pretty lights and **** that don't work.

Bottom line..

You want the best windshield RD? get a 400 dollar V1, you want better than that? get a 1600 dollar 9500ci.

You didn't even read his post... TrueLock wasn't even used... There is no way for TrueLock to fail if it wasn't used, you should know this having 2 9500I's your self

GPS filter was turned on, but I have never filtered that location before as it was a special trip I have not traveled before.

TrueLock rocks, you cant make a blanket statement like that. Its like saying arrows suck (they don't)... To each his own, but don't bash something that clearly works for some. Heck even the V1 has its own issues, J out a real threat, ghosting, arrows trying to point to 9 different alerts, and you cant turn most of those problems off... Your experience is yours not mine or allot of other peoples.

You could of had 6 9500's, TrueLock works the way it does, You were crazy enough to buy 2 of them, Who does that???

the X50 did rock, and really pushed Escort to the next level. However even subtracting the cool features of the 9500 its still a better unit.

The real bottome line is, choose the RD that fits your personal needs...9500,V1, Bel, it doesint matter and dont listen to any of us fools.

Now that's a big old x2

Thats soo nice that we all get along after. After all.. its all about sniffing out /jamming the source and we all have our preferred toys

LEO's don't always save the speed on the radar. Besides, he doesn't have to show you anything. My bet is he saw the RD and made a bad stop. Curious, was he correct with the speed he sited for?

He doesn't have to show you, that is correct. However you should read the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Most states model their criminal discovery after the FRCP.

In these rules, a party has an obligation not to destroy electronically stored information (ESI) when they have reason to beleive that an action is to take place.

Clearly, the officer is issuing you a ticket which is a criminal offense (i.e. he should know an action is about to begin). So if he clears that memory before showing you (esp if you ask) you might be able to claim that he destroyed evidence on purpose (spoliation).

Just a thought . . .
