Leesburg Residents to Help Police Crack Down on Speeding - News Channel 8

"After extensive training, volunteer residents will be issued hand-held radar detectors."

Aren't Radar Detectors illegal in VA?

I think they mean Radar Guns...

Just thought some of you might get a laugh...

Somebody please report them to the FCC so they can get slapped with a $10000 fine for operating Part 90 radar equipment without a licence.

That's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

QFT, although its VERY tempting to make a high speed pass by their "setup"

Would be hilarious if they gave them laser guns. I would drive by them over and over with a laser jammer to see the look on their face when they got no reading.

I'd have a stack of warning tickets framed and mounted on the wall of the garage. I'm would love one for triple digits!!

You bet I would complain to the FCC if I got one of those warnings and demand to know who filed the complaint.

I wonder what kind of guns they're handing out, and how many.

Probably Bushnells or similar. I doubt they'd be leaving their expensive part 90 equipment with civilians. Plus there's always the risk of getting into trouble with the FCC. Or maybe they bought up a crate of Hot Wheels radar guns! Those things have about a 5 foot range on a car.

Maybe those who live in the area with muscle cars can leave some nice tire patches on their road as they blow by.

I have to agee w/ jerry540i. That is bullcrap! Maybe if we report them, then we'll get a nice 35.5 radar gun (which I need but is too expensive) out of it.
