it's a deal. i'm holding your detector hostage in the mean time.

 

those scramblers are expensive..

 

^^those scramblers are also illegal..

 

blah blah corprate crap

 

so are most intakes, exhausts, headers, TURBOS, modded s/c, ground clearences, etc etc...

anyway, they ARE mad expensive! it was 1k+ (shudder). would be much better suited for a car that will top out over 124. i'd be happy settling for a super sensitve $90 detector.

 

doesnt the v1 scramble?

 

Nope, radar scramblers are illegal to buy/sell/own. laser jammers ARE legal however. Therefore, no radar detector scrambles a radar signal. It is just that, a detector

 

abnd im sure a cop would know if his signal is getting jammed

 

Yea, undoubtably. They would know that you have a jammer since the radar isn't working. So unless there are lots of cars around to make the cop unsure of who it is, there is BIG trouble around the corner.

Radarbusters does explain a lot of this stuff and about active vs passive laser jammers etc. it's great information and a great resource.

 

well. im pretty ____ed. my radar detector supposedley has laser alert and i got hit with one tonight and it never went off. i slowed down a good bit, 66 in a 45, my first ticket.... two points in MD... i dont know if i should goto court or just pay it off and take the points

 

go to court man, its your first, so it will probably be easier to get dismissed. Once you get the the court date call or send in a letter to the court asking for a later court date because of something. then ask for one again as you prepare for your defense. Just see about getting the date pushed back at least 2 times and also make some sort of case. Its your first one. so make the choice and use your right to fight in court. I have my 2nd speeding tick . I'd pay it but its $516 = 25 ov in 15 school zone. Im waiting for my court date so i can ask for it to be reshedualed. Also join The National Motorist Association. or just heck there stuff. Good info on ticket fighting there. Good luck.

 

yeah... i dont think im going to fight it though, just plea guilty with an excuse... because its a friday night, there was no one in front of me on the highway, and you know that late at night no one goes the speed. hah

 

alright man. Just a heads up. If you get another one, they might hit you with your past one and an excuse is just saying im guilty. So im fighting mine. lol.

 

It's easier just to plead guilty, but if you plead not-guilty, you can without a doubt get it reduced. It just depends if you feel like going to court. In NY, we go in, meet with the ADA, they basically always reduce it, the judge looks it over and you go pay it. It is always worth it here. I got a 68 in a 45 IN A WORKZONE. I got it reduced to 57 in a 45 in a workzone. It was annoying to begin with b/c I hadn't gotten to the workzone, so I was doing 68 in a 55, but in any case, I got the ticket reduced from 450 to 230.

Where is your detector mounted? They aim for the windshield and/or headlights. This is why it has to be mounted LOW.

 

its right up against the windshieldin the center

 

In the center of the windshield or at the bottom? Move it to the bottom if it's not already there. You don't want it so low that the wipers block it, but just above there. Ideal place for laser detection. (I got hit with 2 lasers just the other day when I was driving from MD to NY. It was low and it caught it both times.

 

its about 2 inches away from the windshiled velcroed to the dash. harhar

 

And what detector is it that you use?

 

i use a beltronics rx65 but thinking about taking the sensor off and stick it behind the grill and mount the LED display above my radio, or maybe mount the sensor on my dash. I wonder whats the best spot cause its got another sensor for 360 dergrees.

 

I personally wouldn't mess with the RX65. That is considered one of, if not THE best radar detector on the market. I out performs most anything. To move the sensor may actually limit it's capabilities. Like you said, the laser is 360. If you put it in your front grille, your only protection is up front.
