Highway patrols, state police, run a lot of traffic and not much else...City officers do both...so, watch out for the locals, and state officers, they love traffic...I was lucky enough to have a Camaro, and do traffic only in my later years...it was fun at first, then, they expected those citations week in, week out...lol
Was waiting for you to chime in Doc.. you seem to do that in every radar detector thread..!
First I thought "no way, he's just an old grumpy LEO!!"
Now I know (don't...ask... how
) you absolutely know what you're talking about.
VASCAR will nail you. INSTANT ON will nail you. LASER will nail you. Any state officer (i.e highway) with a peanut-sized brain knows how to catch speeders, and that is not by leaving their radar gun on.
Do you live in the city? Falses drove me crazy as well

I'm only 20, had my Radar Detectors from 18-20, and if I had one at 16 (I got the car when I was 15 as well, so I know how you're thinking), I can only imagine how 'invincible' I thought I'd really be.. boy that would've turned out bad..
