You know, part of me wonders if he was completely BS'ing me. The exchange went pretty much like this:

Him: Do you know why I pulled you over?
Me: Um, I'm guessing because I was driving too fast?
Him: Yep. Do you know how fast you were going?
Me: Around 60?
Him: Yep, that's what I got you at. Do you know what the speed limit is on this road?
Me: 45 mph.

Point being, I volunteered my speed to him. His claim that it matched what he got me at could be complete BS. In fact, now that I think about it, the last time I got pulled over I also got a warning, but it was a written one. The officer actually wrote up a real ticket and handed it to me, but it had "WARNING ONLY" written all over it. This time, he just verbally told me he appreciated me being honest and not playing games with him and said he was just giving me a warning. It was all verbal, no ticket or anything.

I'm seriously thinking that maybe he had no real case against me, but decided to pull me over anyway to do a license check, make sure I had no warrants, etc. And telling that he was letting me go with a warning sounded better than telling me that he was letting me go because he didn't really have anything on me. :p

On LA tickets, there's a line for speed & radar number. Does yours have a scan number?

(I don't know the real terms)

he's suppose to show the speed results on the radar to you.

He may have just wanted to see your car. :)

I wouldn't think about it too much. He may not have had a case, hence the warning.

Semtex... you got :owned: lol

Yes, our citations also have that. And that's what deepens my suspicion that he was full of it. If he actually got me with radar, why not write it all out like the previous cop did, but then write "Warning Only" on it? Well, I guess he could've just been too lazy to do all the paperwork, so I can't take the absence of a written warning ticket as solid evidence that he didn't really capture my speed on radar. See, I just have no way of really knowing, and I want to know! lol. I want to know if the cops now have some new advanced radar system that enables them to capture another vehicle's speed even if it's behind them going the opposite direction!

Go to a payphone, call the police station, & ask, "Excuse me, can you run radar when your car is heading away from me?"

Do payphones still exist?

haha, sounds like u should do a stealth splinter cell mission down to HQ and investigate this new technology...

HAHA! Heres semtex:

i've had a cop follow me on the highway using a radar gun also.

guess it calculates the difference in speeds from him to me

You could always ask a dolphin if his sonar works backwards....

get one of these and hook up a camera to it

Well, the reason I'm thinking about it so much is that if they really do have some new system that can do this, it's a game changer. Generally speaking, if I see a cop coming from the opposite direction, I'll check my speed and slow down if needed. But once we pass each other, I no longer consider him a threat and relax again, speed up, etc. If they can now zap me from behind like that, using the instant-on technique no less, it changes the playing field somewhat.

i'll check, i work in area 51..opps...did i just say that
