9 mph over the speed limit is picky for getting pulled over. Usually, there's a 10 mph cushion, unless one is in a construction zone or school. In those situations, I drive at or below the posted limit.

Where can I get myself one of those cop probies? Are they expensive to get?

Around here it's 5 MPH on the local roads. Maybe the highways will allow a 10mph cushion (there are enough people going 15-20 over that +5 to +10 are probably a waste of time), but local roads seem to have a smaller safety margin.

I think i've become overly paranoid, I constantly look for police at all times while driving haha. Glad you got away with a warning, I don't think i've ever seen someone do 45 on the service roads around here =]

I too got very lucky the other night. Coming home about 2 in the morning should have known better 80 in a 55. But i was nice and didn't acted pissed off or anything got off with a warning. The one thing i do miss is the digital speed dial
on the 350 it was easier to keep up with how fast i'm going.

Woah, That should have been an arrest, I'd say you did!

If he didn't radar you, he couldn't ticket you anyway. That's why he gave you a warning. Speedo checks aren't concrete for a ticket. If you see that he was driving when he pulled you over and he accused you of speeding. Ask to see the radar gun. If he can't produce a reading to upload into the system. He can't give you a ticket. And... he can't fake the ticket cuz the mph anf time of ticket have to coincide.

Few weeks ago, I was driving on the highway. This black pickup truck drives by me in a much higher speed than me (I'm already doing 75 in 65). So, two seconds later, I see this 2000 year model Purple Honda Accord Coupe driving fast following that black truck. I'm saying, "wtf is going on". Within seconds, the Honda Accord turned on all it's "hidden" flashing lights. Yup, it's an undercover cop. I was like

. You'll be surprised what kind cars they have undercover these days!

I'm not sure if I can agree with your first line. I have gotten two tickets where cop didn't use radar/laser anything. They simple checked off the selection "PACE" on the ticket. Not sure about other states, but in the state of NJ, it's completely legal to get a speeding ticket without radar and laser.
