Hello

[unmarked]

Gues I have to say hi before I can continue...

Highway Patrol LEO based out of Alberta Canada. Reading this forum from "the other side of the fence" so to speak I'm quite entertained. Maybe I'll contribute some tips and tricks...maybe...

See ya on the road.

I knew by your username that you were a LEO before I even read this thread.

Nothing much to learn. Radar detectors don't really work well anyway.

[SpeedUp]

I still get tickets all the time with my radar detector...they really don't work that well

[radarrob]

mine does not pick up the police that well

welcome, we have a few LEO forum members.

The group here is kind of split whether or not to associate with LEO's, I'm kind of neutral. The LEO's that post here regularly sound cool. There just doing their job to keep people safe, at least that's what they say...

Are RD's and Laser Jammers legal in Alberta?

[hiddencam]

Afternoon officer Do you own a RD?

[birkbill]

Welcome aboard. Look around and make yourself comfortable.

Hey thanks for the welcome. I do not currently own a RD, i figure my eyes and an alert sense while driving keeps me from any encounters with fellow officers.

RD are legal in Alberta, and quite common. Doesn't mean they don't get stopped. I stop quite a few people with them either they aren't on, they aren't paying attention...or I get them by surprise.

I'm not here to start any wars. Just for fun more then anything. I speed and I hate getting tickets as much as the next guy. When at work most people I stop get a healthy 40-50% break on the ticket....unless they "asK" for the full meal deal. SO I am more then fair and reasonable.

Welcome to the forum. What do you the most while on duty radar or laser?

Eyes + alert sense + top-notch electronic countermeasures > eyes + alert sense.

We probably talk to as many people that have no clue and think a RD is carte blanche ticket to speed, as you do. OK, probably not that many, but we talk to a bunch! Electronic countermeasures without a clue makes one no better off than they were before they aquired the countermeasures. If someone does not understand the tactics and technology you LEOs use, they have no shot, as I'm sure you are well aware of.

I can assure you that we here are a lot friendlier to LEOs on our forum, than your LEO friends are to us on their forums. Enjoy your stay, at least until I ban you.
