I once got pulled over flying down a moderately busy road near my home at around midnight and as i was turning off onto my side street a cop flashed his lights and pulled me over. I didn't see him and my radar detector didn't pick up anything. I was in a bad mood and acted beligerant when he said, "I clocked u going 90 down this road" so i said "Whatever my car can't even handle that (hheheh :lol: ) plus u didn't clock me" and he saw i had a radar detector and then said "Well i had to go 100 to catch up to u" so he saw my license and registration and said "Lets try to slow it down" and i got off with a warning!! I think Radar detectors are helpful especially if a cop see's u have one that way they can't lie about clocking u at xxx speed.
