Recently there was a memorial service for an officer in my town and just about every department from the surrounding areas had a car or two in attendance. I was on my way to work when the service was over so shared the road with a lot of police officers. I maintain a steady 70mph on the 65mph freeway. (that's an interstate for you southern folks) I was passed by about 15 police and highway patrol vehicles. I guess if the police don't take speed laws too seriously, why should we?

If I put the red dot on your front end and pull the trigger, I can get get 5 reads with 5 pulls before you slow down 5 mph. Keep it under ten over, and no one will look at you twice. Enjoy.......
USE A VALENTINE ONE DETECTOR... and a Blinder jammer.

Even though the jammers are illegal in OK, shops still sell them here. Its rather funny.

POP radar is notoriously inaccurate. According to Stalker, it is inaccurate and they do not recommend it for officer initiated contact as it will not hold up in court.

Here is a quote from MPH Industries website... "A note of caution: Information derived during the POP burst is non-evidential… Citations should not be issued based solely on information derived from the POP burst.”

As for the laser jammer. you will find this interesting
