"How would he/she feel if he/she let someone off for speeding, then later got a call for a scene where that same individual t-boned another car, with the obvious cause being excessive velocity? Not saying it's the case here, but it is definitely something to think about..."
I am getting off topic :OT: But Yes I understand your point. and my ap0ologies to wystang but the whole situation po's me. I guess I am upset over a fellow enthusiast that put a lot of time in his car and the one time he hits it, he gets nailed and gets no break and is ready to turn in his blue oval. So yes I am po'd about it. Its not like he was in heavy traffic or continuing on for long periods of time or swerving in and out of cars. The truth is that he was cruising down a major hwy for a short period and was letting off the gas in seconds. No one was getting "t-boned" or hurt.
Just the other day my friend was telling me how he gets pulled over by fellow cops including state - all the time and gets off, I shook my head in disgust in a way when I compare this to the above. Like I said, been there, done that, got the t-shirt and I know how the system works.
edit - as to the beautiful chick in the passenger seat. Yes it works. I hear this time and time again.
So back to the thread. Are cobra radar detectors junk? I understand their limitation is the lack of 360* coverage and limit on range to like 2 blocks..anyone?
