heres some shrimp about RD.
cops are slowly going to lasers.and yes there are laserD's but the whole thing about that is once the laser is on you BAM it knows your speed. and unlike radar the laser can go way farther and is more effnt. i had a RD for a while and yea it would go off for cops but more times would go off for downeys radar sensors for fire trucks. you know those lil black things on top of the lights. well if you flash them with your high beams most of the time the light will change faster. depending on how strong your high beams are.
i dont know who said it but i agree with them just drive normally.
ps. there are really good decetors tho. ones that point in the direction of where the radar or laser is coming from.
but i havent seen them in stores for a good 4+ months

LOL
it usually takes me 15-20 min to drive from pasadena/pomona
its going to be hard to fight that ticket because i bet he wrote it in 1 ticket and another.
i had the same before
in 1 week
2 tint
1 speeding
1 exhaust
1 tags
1 illegal something bs crap equipment
it was like 3 tickets with note on each citing that theres more, referenced on the other tickets

o... thats cool then..
but most of hte time your speeding and what not
and honestly you can fight the ehxuast, its not that loud...
under 100db for sure
and ive gotten a speeding ticket before, didnt go on my record, because the cop never showed up
it was however considered wreckless driving on my part...
90 in a 45, 2pm... school closing hours, $5000 dollars, suspensed licensce
lets just say someone up there loves me

YES 12:25 AM !!!! I was the only car on the freakin freeway and was only doing 75 on the FAST LANE and i got caught!!!!!!! My regular speed on 210 is like 80-85 and seriously i dont wanna drive fast on 10 cuz the road SUX.
The only thing i want to thank god is the CHP didnt pop my hood and didnt say anything about the big assss exhaust -- I tried not to step on the gas pedal when I was being pulled over and that obviously worked! Had to pay like $100 and something
gotta luv CHP, and i have to agree the whole "It bounds to happen" thing
