fred,
i know absolutely nothing about radar detectors as i try to drive the speed limit or just a few mph over, although on the bike i sometimes beat that a little. anyway, having said that, rudy uses a radar detector all the time in his cagers and i really don't know anybody that gets more tickets than him. he has a very heavy foot!! he used to be a probation officer and i've seen him get out of a few tickets by flashing his badge when pulled over. might also add that rudy is a person who is always looking for the most advanced item, no matter what it is, so i'm sure he has the "latest" in radar equipment.
i've just never found one that i would trust to keep me out of a ticket. the last ticket (that i know of) that rudy got was over in illinois last summer for doing 95 mph in a 65 mph. what i didn't know is that is a felony charge in many states now. not sure how much over it has to be, but in rudy's case, it did qualify, but the cop who stopped him knocked the spped down so it wouldn't put it in the felony catagory, then rudy paid double the fine and got it taken off his record completely. it all boils down to money for the state i guess.
