or if you see those big white lines that go across the highway..well they clock you and see how long it takes you to go across both lines then they figure out how fast your going

yup, they can pretty much use anything on the road as "markers" and they have a formula/algorithm they use to calculate your speed.

Usually when they do that they nail a lot of people. You will see them all on the side of the road.

The helicopter was pacing the car. Not timing it.

Pretty stupid, considering 66 is infested with cops.

Drive a car that is less suspicious (i.e. not modded, not sporty. preferably minivan, pickup truck)

Look out for cops.

Go as fast as you want under 100 mph

You'll be straight.
