That's just not true. They do not have to be next to you to pace you. They can keep a count to maintain an equal distance behinde you and then look down at their speedometer. The misinformation is wonderful on this site. You can get a ticket from a cop who is pacing you next to you, 3 cars back, 10 cars back hell 20 cars back if he wants to. But obviously you show your ignorance by calling them "pigs". I wonder who you would call if one of your family members was shot and you needed help.

Then I realize its the 13th and its a friday haha..never was superstitious before but I am now.

if anyone knows of a good radar\lidar detector please let me know thanks.
"Lidar" uses a laser beam to measure a car's speed. Fighting this ticket may require a special strategy. I suggest you research this at http://www.motorists.org

My car was lit up by one of these this morning, but fortunately I wasn't speeding. My Solo detector picked it up, but typically you don't have much warning. It can be an instant on, one shot kind of speed detection.

Remember in the future that LIDAR has just as many faults as RADAR, just in different places. From over 1/2 mile away, unless you were like weaving in and out, and crap, that's total bunk. The LIDAR beam spreads out like to three feet in diameter per 1000ft. or something. At 2500 ft. she could be getting a reflection off of a car beside, or behind you going even faster.

Also ... SHE has to make a visual estimation of your speed and use the RADAR / LIDAR as backup. Most of the time, the 'system' wants to you believe the RADAR ... a RADAR can't testify against you in court, UNLESS its backed up by an officer that made a visual estimation along with it.

You got taken to the cleaners.

I hate it when people stick up for cops. I think that all cops were the ones in High School who had acne and got picked on in some way or never got to play in sports. They are all losers. If one of my family members was shot I would call my buddy Beretta for help and his sister Winchester. I got a ticket for my windows being too dark when they were done professionally in washington they were 35% and the cop yesterday said only 8 % of light can go through also that no sedan in Pa can have any tint at all which is Bs. I got pulled over in a random vehicle check for seatbelts and they just had to harrass me because i have a nicer car than they could ever own. I hate Cops. I wish they would all die

yea tint tickets in ma are 250 a window i think, but as far as i know its only the fronts you can get bagged for. tons of cars come with factory 20% in the rear so thats total BS. if shes local you can beat it, but a statie is one step shy of a neo ****. especially the ones the got to work at Logan

they usually dont end up going to court considering they go on their day off, so take it to court. i usually pay 60 bucks and go to a ticket clinic. usually works out good for me.

You got caught doing 115 mph on a public road and now you're bitter with the police. Why don't you try being a man and own up for your own actions instead of blaming everyone else.

Catching dumb@sses like yourself doing in excess of 100mph on public roads IS important. It's **** for brains like you that will end up killing a truckload of kids because you wanted to show some civic how H@rDc0r3 you are.

So tired of this immature attitude that seems to be so accepted everywhere lately.
