Police Officer buying Evo

Meaning if a Camaro passes by with a Flowmaster and he likes the sound even though the sound levels are high and an import passes by whose db levels a below the limit but don't like the sound and gives him a ticket. Ridiculous. 
The same goes for window tint. I have a tint meter to determine if the tint is state legal or not. Because if I give you a ticket for your tint, and you take me to court and show that it's the correct percent, then I tell the judge that " to my eye it looked to dark." I'll look like an idiot to the judge, and you'll win your case!

I got a question for ya Evo police....
I got pulled over once and the cop said he clocked me going 70 in a 55 I have a really good radar detector and it never went off. I didn't argue with the cop in fear of making things worse on myself and ended up I got lucky and got away with a warning.
Problem is I know he didn't actually clock me and if he had of given me a ticket its my word against his in a courtroom and we all know how that would turn out. Any tips on how to deal with that should the situation ever occur again?

The ones we use now are completely laser. There shaped like a gun with a rechargeable battery and trigger. Here's the main difference, I can have this new laser radar gun off until I see you coming. In Laser Radar School they teach us now to get a visual of a speeding car first, then fix are sights on the vehicle. In turn what this does is let you get close enough to me without your radar detector going off, and then I clock your speed. Once I hit the trigger to get you, and your radar detector is going off, it's to late.
Now the only chance you have is this, say your driving and speeding, and just before you hit a turn, your radar detector goes off, more then likely you should be fine, because I just got someone else, and your radar detector is close enough to pick it up.Other then that the best thing is to just try and be a polite person as possible. Don't use the excuses we have all heard: Running late to school, I was keeping up with other traffic, etc...
Couple things that may help you, is to have a FOP Sticker some where on the car, military ID (whether active or reserve) Me personally, I give military, FOP supporters, and the working people breaks, I.E. UPS driver, DHL, people who I know have to rush.
Anyway, hope I shed some light on the famous radar detectors.
