Is that what he actually wrote on the ticket? If that's the case there's definitely shenannigans. Just for instance , here in Florida the limit is not absolute. By law the maximum penalty for up to 6mph over the posted limit is a verbal warning. The workaround for people who "earn" a ticket is to cite for violation of a traffic control device. In either case it has to be articulated that the officer is certified to operate the device. The device has been calibrated and tested before and after the shift and the device is only used to support a visual estimate of the observed vehicles speed. Don't know the specs of this stop but to be cited for 1 over ...............yeah chat about that one at the bench.

I like how the Rape Van is the #7 least ticketed car.

No visible mods, never been pulled over in the Z, 60+K miles. Best one was after hanging a turn, saw a cop going the opposite direction. He didn't even look over. Thanks quiet exhaust! The next best one, cops walked by while the car was parked on the driveway (neighbor across the fence called in for a little domestic disturbance next door). One of the cops said, "that car looks so fast I feel like I need to give you a speeding ticket". He smiled and walked on.

Rapists are smart enough to obey traffic laws very carefully when they have someone chained to the floorboard.

I don't believe this. I'm willing to bet Mercedes and BMW get the most tickets

Never, but was asked if my windows were tinted once when I wasn't even in the car. Said its factory and went on my way.

I'm truly surprised the Mustang isn't in that top ten list..

The systems I've run into in the past would jam a Pro3 out to about 400ft before lock, which is plenty of space because I can typically lock up at around 1700-1900ft on a normal day and out to 2300ft on an uncommon low humidity clear day. It's educational on both ends.

I met up solidus in Orlando yesterday while he was working (law enforcement) to test out my AL Priority laser jammers.. Really cool guy. Even let me play with the LIDAR gun. It's so easy to use it's a little scary. Made a couple of passes, but he was only able to get a speed reading on me after the ALP stopped jamming.

Shout out and thanks to solidus! Next time I'll reconfigure the jammer to jam for more time so we can get a better idea of what range I am effective to.
