I actually got out of a couple tickets on the basis of having the detector back when I had one. First one was a DPS trooper who claimed he got me from the feeder and then raced up and caught me at the feeder ramp before I made it there - I just looked at him and said, if I was doing the speed you claim, you wouldn't have caught me by time I got to the feeder ramp. I let him know, I knew exactly where he pinged me and that I wasn't going the speed he was saying (I was speeding, but didn't admit to itrotor wrote:86 in a 65 and he would probably not give a warning. Do you think the radar detector makes a ticket more likely though?
) but I wasn't going the 90ish he was saying. I politely argued my point and he basically threw his hands up and gave me a warning.Second time, I'm pretty sure it was a bad read/target but I don't know how fast I was going, however there were people passing me. I told the cop that and that my detector hadn't lit up like it had been painted and I guess he agreed. That time no ticket or warning.
