What all this means is that if I were to try and clock you with my radar gun at a corner, or hill top where I'm getting you at an angle, the readings may be off. We are taught to get the best possible shot, and a position to get the greatest mass that is approaching us.
In addition, with the laser radar detectors we use, radar jammers do NOT work, so don't waste your money. However they do work on some of the older K-Band radar detectors that they may be still using.

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.

Damn, all these questions. Evo Police, you should consider charging. 
we need to have custom made car kits so that the surface of the car is painted with the radar absorbing paint, and all the angles of the car is to a certain degree to reflect radar. haha make the car stealth. then i think the lasers wont work. yeah that would be cool. hehe
EVO police - I got a ticket for exhaust. He said I could not have a modified exhaust. Is this true? I thought all catbacks were okay except if it says "off road use only" I mean he didnt check for a cat or downpipe ( I had stock cat and downpipe anyway). And the ticket he gave me non correctable. I thought this was a correctable violation?
hey evo police, welcome aboard, its good to have one of you guys on our side finally. at least you understand where we are coming from when it come to we being car nuts like other car nuts liking old school or bikers liking harleys. tell your buddies most of us are not dumb asses always wanting to race like fast and the furious. Iknow there are guys out there that deserves to get busted but the ones that drive with respect for the law just because they have a big wing or a bigger exhaust tell your buddies to give them a break. I guess I am just ranting and mumbling. anyways much congrats to your mr and welcome aboard. we here are like family and any help you need your more than welcome. what car do you have now before you get your mr? Trust us by saying this is one of the best cars in the world. the potential in these cars is so much. enjoy peace........

Moral of the story is this. People who are *** holes that become the police, are then police officers that are *** holes. lol
When it comes to exhaust regulations. This is the rule of thumb. Make sure it's 50-State legal. If you can prove this, always take it to court. Matter of fact, always go to court. Because in some cases, the officer might be on vacation, sick, etc...
Hi Evo Police, first of all, welcome to Evo forum.
i got a question, if some ricer cut me off and hard braking in front of me because i didn't race them from traffic light to traffic light, Is that anyway to report them to police? thanks

i think it would be awsome if we started a seperate forum for Evo Police and any other cops on the site (as i am sure there are more) who could help answer some of our questions. Maybe some of the vendors on the site could give those guys discounts on stuff in return for helping all of us out. Just an idea.
