By the way, in some departments police officers are certified to visually judge your speed and it holds up in court. No need to even have a radar gun if you are blowing past them on the highway.
You know what, i had one of those cards as well and yes they are great but i never flashed them, if the conversation came to that point i mentioned it and it helped. But, if i was an officer and somebody flashes that thing to me the the minute i walked to their car, i would be a little annoyed and depending on my mood and the "attitude" of the person, i would probably issue a citation. I just don't like the idea of some people thinking that they can get away certain things by flashing that kind of stuff.
