if you have a radar detector in sight and get caught for speeding...your done.
I always play kind of dumb. It mostly works. Once I got pulled over with my old Jeep because I had the fog lights on (it's not allowed here unless there's really fog). It costs $30. Car documents and license at home, another $30.
The cop asked me whether I saw some fog. "Oh officer why are you asking this? You see it's a beutiful evening." -- "So why are the fog lights on?" -- "Really?! I'm so sorry, it's a friends car and I don't know where the switch is. Can you help me? Do you know this car? Or could you please watch the front, while I try some switches and tell me when it's off?" The cop said, he didn't know how to operate the lights of this Jeep but went to the front and bent forward. My turn! First, I did some park lights ("No") then turn signals ("No") and before I switched off the fog lights, I gave him full taste of high beam ("Nooo..uhh")! "Thank you officer, sir, and I'm so sorry..." ---- No ticket.
