Not failure to allow a cop to pass.

So again, it falls to a driver not paying attention. Not a fault in radar detectors...
I watch all Impalas, Crown Victorias, and now Dodge Chargers, Ford Explorers, and Taurus' as potential cop vehicles marked/unmarked in White/Silver/Blue/Brown/Black. If I see one, I am eyeballing it for lights in the grill/headliner/windows. Every time. I've seen plenty of unmarked cars on the highway going with and against my lane. When I do, sometimes they are running gun, and my detector goes off well before I physically see them, and if I can't visually see them, then by reverse direction they can't see me either. So by the time they do see me, I've slowed down.
As for the white lines on the highway, and aircraft... If you see a helicopter or Low Flying Aircraft when you're on the highway and know there is not an airport near by, and continue to do 90 in a 65, then it's your own dumb fault. If it looks out of place, there's most likely a reason. Which again falls back to bad driver, not bad/worthless equipment.
You're not proving your point at all.
