Nine times out of ten, I bet he doesn't care.

Relative funny story: I was at work a few weeks ago merging onto I64. The car in front of me accelerated hard merging from the ramp. It's posted at 50 for the work zone and I was pacing him at 72. I was in his blind spot and could see the radar detector. I keep taking the moving radar on and off watching the radar detector go off. Every time he slammed on the brakes as he and his buddies looked around in a panic trying to find me. It was good for a laugh.

from what i hear scanners work decent but a cb radio is better cause all the truckers will announce over the cb where the cops are

I just paid my radar detector ticket last week, He wasnt even running radar, It was 5:30 am, pulled me asked me if I had a detector then measured my car and told me everything else that was illegal, For a seatbelt ticket and radar it ended up being $131 pre-paid in Henrico Co. This is just my beater car too lol... I was late to work haha, My stupidity for running one especially since I usually dont speed anyway

You'd think the user name SMOKEYBEAR, the patrol car for an avatar and his post would be a dead give-a-way...
