Which is why I leave my radar on only when I haven't the time to stop
anyone.  There's no telling how many times I've slowed down a detector
equipped speeder when he was in no danger of getting stopped.  They do
have their uses.

Yep, you got that right.   Thirty percent of all speeders that I stop
for speeding on the interstate system have detectors including some
with the infamous V1.   Heaven forbid we ever outlaw the gadgets.
Then working radar wouldn't be nearly as much fun.
