I have driven some 5000 miles and done without getting a ticket though came close a couple of times. I mostly ensure there is a rabbit ahead, watch brake lights ahead, be wary of bridges and overpasses when on highway.

Would you buy one?

Don't most cops use laser now? So pretty much once the detector goes off you're pretty much already tagged?

Radar detectors arent needed when you drive like a fckin OG

But then again the maneuvers I see some peeps pull on the highway and city streets I gotta laugh out loud, hilarious stuff people do to get peoples attention.

How much did they whack you for no plate? I've been riding without front for over a year, but still panic when I ride past the cops !

And I'm just over here driving the speed limit or slower since these roads suck in Cali using this app https://www.waze.com/ which is surprisingly pretty accurate...

If I remember it was 50, however the first 2 times I gave them an excuse why I didn't have it (arguing with my dealer because they want me to pay for the mount) once that didn't fly I just put it on. I know if I didn;t have tint as well they probably wouldn't of bothered me.
