Cobra laser/radar detector mounted halfway up the windshield.
It said 360 on the top case. Looked pretty new.
81 in a posted 65. Rush hour weaving through traffic.

Laser or radar?
Laser at 370 feet.

was he pissed that he got caught?
Instead off telling us who or what you caught, why don't you spill your sneaky tactics so that it doesn't happen to us. I could care less who you busted. I just want some intel.
I think he used the point and shoot method.;) He could be in a HighVis rain suit and the Cobra user doing 16 over while weaving in traffic probably would've missed him @ 341ft.Quote:

What more do you want from him? :confused:
Well, I guess he is helping others that are from the area were he patrols although that doesn't help me. I want to know how LEOs think, and what they are taught when they go through traffic enforcement training. I want to know if he uses Q/T? This is what I mean by sneaky tactics.Quote:

It would be very hard to not get caught speeding while laser is being used, unless a jammer is being used. So to me it would be common sense that he catches those speeders and it wouldn't matter what brand radar detector got caught. Now if he was posting detailed info on how he caught speeders while using radar then I would be paying attention.
My tactics? I find a spot with a clear view of the stretch of road that I am checking speed on then I wait. In this case I was sitting under Parmer lane overpass on North Mopac facing south checking northbound traffic.
Hope this helps.

Fritter, please never take a transfer to Lafayette, LA........:D
Come to Atlanta and cull the heard. I've heard LEO's here describe shooting laser on 285 as picking antelope out of a giant heard. You get one and the other 2000 just spped up and move on.Quote:

then pursuit his behavior.
Are we not returning to the same point ?
Do speed enforcement , as we know now , should be re-think ?
I dont say that this driver did'nt merit this ticket ....speeding/weaving
during rushhour ...bad behavior in my book.
On the other side , doing the same speed @ 2 am during good conditions
is hammering the wrong nail :rolleyes: ...got caught this manner , by radar i/o....
and it only prooves me that I have to upgrade my stategy !
Cobra radar detectors = my ass.
Speeding is fun.
man im going to be heading to Austin on the 26th of June for a show. I know for sure i wont be speeding.

So you want to be a LEO to give everyone citations for speeding? Nice...after you have been using a detector and other tactics trying to avoid them and now you're going to "bag" people. You are a hypocrite and an asshole. Delete your account immediately, and I sure as hell hope you don't become a cop. :mad:Quote:

No because we don't pull people over and cost them time and money, we just play with ours.
I know a friend who is a leo and a V1 user and he only gets people for speeding if they are going 25+ over the limit. He mainly cites for things like weaving through traffic, running lights, and pulling out in front of people. He says he writes many tickets just based on those violations alone. Hopefully this guy will be the same way.Quote:

Notice how Fritter doesn't own a Radar Detector and doesn't speed.Quote:

If you want to drive 100 mph...knock yourself out if you are a skilled driver and there aren't a lot of cars around. If you want to do drugs, knock yourself out if you are sitting at home or want to go party in a club. Just be sure you don't feed drugs to people under 18 or drive while really fuc** up.
I just don't see the use of cops unless they are investigating a murder, rape, theft, or something real.
Traffic cops should just look for erratic driving (like drinking), left lane hogs, and blatant red light and stop sign runners. I mean blowing through a red light or stop sign, not a rolling stop and right turn.
How about being a detective instead? Seems like more meaningful work, in my opinion.
Geez Blackgt06 you told them you want to be a cop. Wow please dont tell them your sleeping with their sisters too. Damn talk about a beat down. LOL
That's not one of your better ideas. You wanna start abusing people on the forum and acting like a troll you've gotta expect a little heat for it.Quote:

Yeah alright I'll admit I was harsh when I called him an asshole...(sorry it was hot as hell in Baltimore last night and the AC unit doesn't work) but I won't say I was harsh when calling him a hypocrite. I was quick to judge...I don't know the guy maybe hes a nice guy but still it just aggravates the hell out of myself and I'm sure others when we read about people on here with countermeasures who want to then become a traffic cop and write people for the same thing they get away with all the time. If he were to become a detective or something I wouldn't care...but traffic cop...common now totally whack. You are a traffic cop but stated you don't speed or use a detector. That's fine by me. But if you were to come on here and tell us you have a jammer and a V1 I would be pissed to hear about you issuing people tickets all the time.Quote:

If i was a LEO I don't think I could write speeding tickets with a clear conscience.
I could however write every LLH a ticket for obstructing the flow of traffic and feel no sympathy at all. To me these people are a lot more dangerous in traffic than people who speed.
are you kidding me speed?!!!
I don't care if you want to be a traffic cop. It's a fine profession. Much better than some other occupations that come to mind. It's a game, we're on one side, they're on the other.Quote:

Yea, but he wants to be on both sides. :cool:Quote:
