Having a radar detector can sometimes GIVE you a ticket. I was driving along I-80 in Pennsylvania when a cop pulled me over. I was doing 70 at the time in a 55 mph zone. Apparently, he had timed me visually, so my radar detector did not pick him up. He was all ready to give me a warning, when he bent over and saw my radar detector. Poof!! I called me a speeder, and I my bank account decreased by $122.50. The sad thing was, I really was not intentionally speeding. The moral of the story is: unless you are willing to accept the consequences of owning a radar detector, don't get one! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- John.
