Yeah they don't work. I'm a cop in the AF and went through a week long course on LIDAR and once that laser hits it's an immediate reading. There is a way but I'll never tell. lol

Where I live you cant get us :P cause we can use jammers, shifters, detectors you name it...and supposedly them shifters work very well, especially the blinders. You got to be a pretty good shot to get them :P

My suggestion is become like a reserve officer at your local PD and learn how much over the officers will let you go before you get pulled over. I was a cadet in my town for over a year (got tired of that crap) and I managed to figure all that info out, plus I learned most of the spots they hide and I haven't gotten a ticket for speeding yet. I agree with Steve though, if it's picking up the signal on your detector your caught. Plain and simple it's showing exactly how fast your going and if the officer didn't pull you over it's either because he didn't want to mess with your stupid *** or he saw you slow down like an idiot because there's the po po's.

Yeah I won't lie those blinders work pretty well, but I'm pretty sure it's a rather large fine if you get caught with them. Except for you I suppose. I usually only brief and release though so no tickets from this guy.

That's a lot to do just to figure out how to cheat the system. You must be a dedicated speeder. lol

Beware of following the rabbit, Alberta Sheriffs on highway 2 between Calgary and Edmonton have three to four cruisers parked in the medium or on top of hills or at bottom of hills.

And range road 285 near conrich, East of Calgary on a brand now paved highway, 80 km speed limit, has the Alberta sheriffs, RCMP and a frew Municipal dumb ***'s running gang ho, Alberta Sheriffs also patrol glanmore trail to highway 8 in Calgary and have a sub office in the ogden industrial area, near Tim Hortons on Barlow trail.

I have the passport 9500i and it is awesome. It detects the cop before he sees me. So if her is running radar in either direction mine will go off. But it has a laser detector in it too... directions said "Slow down fast when "LASER" goes off" lol. But the radar part of it has saved me so many times. I've never had a ticket and Im a speeder. knock on wood.

Yeah that's good advice "slow down fast" When I went through the LIDAR class we talked with a shi* load of TPD cops and they said they usually wait until the tone the lidar gives out stays at a steady tone and they usually make it obvious as hell they are reading you so you slow down.

No, I joined for other reasons like ride-alongs and such. After I joined I realized how useful that info would be to me and so I utilize it whenever I can. I will admit to being a speeder though, I usually run 5-10 over pretty much everywhere except for school zones. I go the posted speed as I don't wanna be responsible for a dead kid. Highway my thoughts change as I usually run 80-85 in the 70's. I like to get places on time and fairly quickly, the funny part is most cops I know speed like ****'s. Hell in the patrol cars they run 15-20 over for the heck of it. One officer I was with was coming back from the county jail and asked if I had ever went 135 mph before so he punched it and showed me what a Crown Vic can do.
