MPH hypes POP in Nevada

[stevo1569]

I own a V1...I'm not worried I would love to see Mike Valentine to show up at one of those council meetings and demo that POP isn't all it's cracked up to be. But just as RDD's are, MPH Industries is targeting the majority of the radar detector market which is Cobra.

If MPH was smart they would specifically engineer the POP technology to outperform the top of the line detctors (V1, 9500, STi, STi-R, X50) and if successful they wouldn't have to worry about the rest of the market because the cheaper units aren't going to even come close to the performance of the top of the line radar detectors.

Regardless, Law Enforcement can't write citation solely based on POP measurement.

Just my $0.02

the problem is the PD is dumb enough to think the can write tickets with it, some cops probably will write tickets using it.

""Information derived during the POP burst is non-evidential and to be used for advisory information only...citations should not be issued solely on information derived from the POP burst. "

Bingo, you beat me to it.

I should have known someone would eventually do this. Nevada huh. Maybe we can have a few individuals in Nevada testing out if they will actually be using POP mode, or just using I/O 33.8.

[lugnuts]

but even still is the officer going to write on the ticket he used POP/IO or just say radar?

its your word against his, how are you going to prove in court that the LEO used POP? if they are that clueless (or smart) they will just say they used radar.

The west coast officers really need to get hobbies like catching as the guerrilla ticket fighter cd say's, " Shouldn't you guy's be out catching real criminal's like robers, or terrorist's?"

That was just for you Mr. Nma Member.

Interesting....I've never had any problem detecting NHP and I have pop off on all of my RDs.

That's because in practice the police really don't use POP that much. My county PD has had about a dozen BEE-3s since about 2001-2002 and one of the officers admitted to me in 2007 that he has used POP maybe half a dozen times since they first received the units. They use the BEE-3 primarily for its auto direction sensing capabilities.

I'm not 100% what LEO use around here. But i do know Lasers are becoming more and more common just by seeing the units in use. Radar is very common of course. NHP uses spotter planes outside of town, mainly on the I-15 south/north, especially near APex.

they don't fool around out here.

Last time I was in Nevada I got hit with K band (highway patrol) and Ka 33.8. (Highway Patrol) That was in April 2008.

Riiiight. And they can't beat you, search you without a warrant, or arrest you without probable cause either.

Trust me, they're doing all four of those things every day of the week.
