Noticed more speed traps lately?

The point of driving a porsche is not to drive fast, but to get certain types of women to sleep with you on occassion. Have I taught you nothing, why do I slave over a hot keyboard?

Feeling you have the right to do something isn’t always enough justification when you share that road with others. If you can prove that nobody driving fast in a sports car on an open highway or in the desert has ever killed another person, then I will support your right to selectively follow laws.

The Valentine 1 is nice because not only does it detect all types of police radar and laser, and can keep track of multiple signals at once, and the directional arrows tell you which direction the radar is coming from.

This is handy, for example, when you’re going up 395 and some asshat blows past you doing 100 in an Escalade. At this speed it’s pretty hard to get zapped from behind if you’re reasonably diligent about watching the rear view mirror. And it’s very easy to get zapped from the front – pop over a hill, and if there’s a cop there, you’re toast.

So I use what Car and Driver calls “the patsy method” where you are detecting the radar that’s being aimed at other cars, not you. In this case, once the asshat blows past you (and one always does), you let him be your patsy and follow at a distance of about 1/2 mile to a mile, matching his speed and checking the rear view mirror frequently. When the detector goes off, see what direction it’s coming from. Almost always the radar is front of you – in front of your patsy as well – and almost always the patsy will not have a radar detector himself.

I’ll drop down out of warp speed and watch the patsy get nailed. I would say in the past 3 or 4 years of going up to Mammoth, I’ve seen at least 10 people get nailed, and the cop never even sees me. I’m doing 65 by the time I come into his view. It makes for an efficient and entertaining drive.

The other nice thing about the V1 is that it has a remote control option which allows you to hide both the display and the detector itself.

Man, if you ever travel abroad (possibly except Western Europe) you are in for a big surprize.

Six years USN. How much foreign travel do you think I’ve had? Except for Mexico where I will never go again and ten rounds of 7.62X39 through the back window of a bus I was on in Peru, no foreign LE trouble. In fact that guy was Army and the bus did blow his checkpoint.

I stick by my original position. We have far more street cops than we need for daily use. Now, as in the case of the Rodney King riots, we do need a reserve force that we can mobilize. I think they call that the National Guard.

I spend most of my travel time on the freeways and yes, there is increased police activity along the I-5. In the 10 years I have been driving between San Diego and Los Angeles I have never noticed this much ticketing going on.

It did pick up after the special election. While I realize correlation doesn’t necessarily mean causation it is strange.

It seems to be part of the plan to “punish” us ignorant taxpayers who are tired of funding the unrealistic plans of our broken legislature and failed governor.
