[Official] What's the Best Radar Detector?

edconline

Are most of you running this equipment where it isn't allowed or something? For all I care ill let it jam all day. If I got pulled over and he said I couldn't get your speed or it was delayed, I'd reply 'ya, that's cause I have a ZR4 laser shifter, good to know it's working... Even though I wasn't speeding '

It's all totally legal to have and use here.

I think its more of the issue that the cop will then pull you over to be a **** and ticket you for everything possible. Mind you if your car is stock (no tint ect) then you're probably good to go. haha.

In my car every window is tinted on it (even the front) so the less I stick out the better.

Yeah, I hate those things. But it's not any one particular car that I was next to. I just wish I could turn the laser off the same way I can run with X band off.

I don't even run with the jammers on because of the potential time it takes to turn it off. There's no "on/off" switch. You gotta go into the settings and push a bunch of buttons. I just have them set to passive detection.


Must be nice up there north of the border...

Or if you have to have a chat with LEO's you can just turn off the whole unit... just saying.

I prefer not getting pulled over than avoiding conversation.

If ever pulled over, I am anything but rude to them. They are doing their job, that's all. So no need to be a dick to them. Plus it helps when you're nice.

Still we have a culture of ignoring the constitution.
When They ask you if you know why they pulled you over, they are encouraging you to forgo your fifth amendment right. Be polite sure but also politely demand they stop trying to crap on your Constitution.

When they ask if they can take a look inside your vehicle, they are asking your permission to violate your right against unreasonable search (and seizure) They can only do it if you let them. So don't. Politely tell them to pack sand and read their history. Fascism is only a few poor choices away for we Americans.

I hope you are never pulled over, but if you are, do not make it easy for the state to unlawfully take your property (an expensive ticket)... increasingly, the police are being used simply as a revenue raising agency and are not concerned with protecting the public or public safety. Especially in the poorly run and indebted state of Colorado. I do not envy them their job but even more I do not envy you having to put up with their state authorized unconstitutional bullshnizzle.

I served my country for 20 years as a USMC officer. in doing so I swore an oath to defend your constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. I hear and do not disagree that the LEOs are "just doing their job". Well they must do it without harassing the citizens who hired them and without violating the constitution of this once great country. If you do not respect your constitutional rights and the bloody sacrifices which bought them for you, the popos will not either.

It is up to we citizens to learn our history, read our constitution, and hold our out of control government agents from taking a big dump on our heritage.

I say man up defend your country against these DOMESTIC ENEMIES and try in every way you can to put an end to this unforunate era of increasing Fascism.

Siemper Fi, and remember what Plato said 2500 years ago. "Civic disobedience is every citizens civic responsibility"

“One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.” MLK

“It is not always the same thing to be a good man and a good citizen.” aristotle

“If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law”
― Henry David Thoreau,

“We need in every bay and community a group of angelic troublemakers.”
― Bayard Rustin

Long live the Republic!
-Me.

Hold on there, I'm a veteran myself, (AF). I know full well what I've sworn, fought, and bled for.

I believe this country has lost sight of its values and rights too. But when an officer pulls you over, you Were in the wrong. Like it or not.

I know my history and my constitution, but at a routine traffic stop isn't the place to fight it. Yes, I understand laziness takes over and if you won't there, then where will you? But still... Fighting at a ticket only makes it worse for You. You resist, and then they use some other loophole to get you. Your resisting them to search the vehicle gives them suspicion there is a reason Why other than you just don't want a ticket. And with the systems they have nowadays, it can only take 15 minutes for them to get a search warrant signed by a judge. Then they search your car anyway...

Thanks for your service. I believe we are in an uphill fight for our national identity.

I respectfully disagree.

In order to get a search warrant, an officer must, prepare an affidavit , setting forth all the evidence and knowledge they have of premises and the offense/violation of the law known (or suspected) to be occurring there. Present the affidavit to a judge or magistrate, swearing to the truthfulness of the information contained in it. The judge will peruse it to be certain that it contains all the requirements of the law, and then signs it. Upon the judge's signature, the affidavit becomes a warrant and may be served.

Most Cops are just working to serve up as many fund raising tickets as possible as quickly as possible.

If I am pulled over because their speed gun was wonky, that is not reasonable cause for a search, and they have no reason to legally search a vehicle. Also they do not have your speed (if you were speeding) therefore the cop has nothing and will have nothing if you:
1. decline to self incriminate (5th amendment)
2. do not give your permission for any unlawful search of your property.(4th)
3. Do not just piss away the rights and freedoms our founding fathers worked to guarantee you.

sincerely, I am not picking a fight, I'm just tired of we the people giving away our freedom due to our apathetic fear and ignorance.

Do what you want, for me, I choose liberty, freedom from oppression, and the ending of Fascist attitudes wherever they may occur. My apologies to any LEOs who take exception to me calling them tools of an increasingly unlawful and oppressive state. Most LEOs I talk to agree.

here are some great answers to the question "Do you know why I pulled you over?"

1. Yes. Because Colorado is in the middle of a budget crisis and you are a glorified tax collector.

2. Perhaps its because you find my car sexy and wanted a better look?

3. Because you are out of doughnuts and hope I will bribe you with some of my lunch to let me go.

Anyhow. I have 4 speed traps between my house and work. I see law abiding good people being pulled over and harassed all day every day. It makes me sick.

Radar, LADAR, speed cameras, aircraft, soon drones... Perhaps if they spent some of that money on non traffic patrols, actual crimes might be prevented.

Sincerely, I know you served in the AF and are therefore a fan of freedom, and the American way. I am just pointing out that what that dream is means something different to us than it did to our grandparents. they had backbone and would probably object to public officials overstepping their office.
