I use a radar detector -- the cheapest one from Radio Shack and I haven't gotten a speeding ticket since. Plus I have like 10 PBA cards. So I'm happy.
As for what my personal opinion is of cops... they suck... I'm a professional and a homeowner.. I appreciate them making our neighborhoods safer.. but most ARE on a power trip, and I think harass innocent civilians for no reason. If I was dressed all thugged out, I'm sure I'd get treated worse in my xfire, than if I was pulled over and wearing my suit.
Cops also use steroids! It's a fact - I know cops and anytime you see one whose huge and muscular - you can bet they use them. Steroids are much more widespread than most people realize. People don't get huge and ripped naturally - FACT.
One time when I was younger a cop was harassing us and wanted to search our car in order to make sure we don't have guns or grenades. GRENADES?? Who the hell has grenades...
They also spend time busting innocent weed smokers for a dime bag when they should go after the ones selling the pounds. Yes I smoke weed on occassion and enjoy it.
