After all the paperwork was complete I asked him how he got me. He explained that they run around with their radar in passive, stand-by mode and that, with a single push of a button, can get an instant read on your speed.

The 9500ix is still a great unit and has saved me on many occasions.

Have fun this weekend and remember my motto... "No tickets and not body damage!"

Had my first experience with a "camera ticket" a couple of weeks ago. It was in my name but it was my son's car. They had stills printed on the letter of him making a right turn on red without the "stop" part. They also had a great quality video online to view with laser verified speed posted in the corner. There was no doubt he was guilty. In our area, it cost him $50 and no ding on your license or insurance. You could fight it if you want but he would have lost.


Oh yeah, I forgot to mention... I hate that I can't own a radar detector!!!
