For All Those Interested in Speeding Ticket PREVENTION, Please Read!

After reading the myraid of threads with people being rammed by the State for speeding, I thought I'd post a thread for anyone interested in fighting fire with FIRE! In this thread, I've included steps you need to take to PREVENT a cop from ever having a chance to clock you. I've also included honest ticket prevention links that took me weeks to find after dredging through the thousands of commercially biased sites. I think everyone who enjoys their '05 and doesn't want to pay THOUSANDS of dollars for a momentary twitch of the accelerator should take these four steps to greatly minimize your chances of getting ticketed:

1. Get a GOOD radar detector. I recommend the Esocrt Passport 8500 X50 or the Valentine 1.

2. Get a GOOD laser jammer. A laser detector is USELESS. Once your detector goes off, YOU'VE BEEN CLOCKED. I recommend the Blinder Extreme, although even MORE effective jammers may be coming out very soon, such as Antilaser.

3. Purchase PROVEN laser countermeasures such as VEIL (applied to your headlights), and for those of us with front license plates, Lasershield. With a good laser jammer and these laser countermeasures, laser guns are useless against you unless you're 300 feet from the cop! (they usually clock you at 2800 feet)

4. BE VIGILANT! If you're speeding safely, check your mirrors periodically. Remember, there is no defense against VASCAR (average your speed between two points of reference) except for purchasing a scanner!

I've followed these four steps and I have a perfect record. I've gotten lots of dirty looks from cops, though.

If you do get pulled over, BE POLITE the officer is just doing his job try to remeber that.

If you do get stopped and you act like a DicK, that is the fastest way to ensure you get a ticket.

P.S. PORAQ/POA stickers help too.

Yep. I've been pulled over for a weak tail light once. Always be polite. Treat them with respect and you usually get respect back.

I believe jammers are illegal in many states.

Low-tech ideas:
1. Slow down if you see cops. (Duh!)
2. Keep a low profile, drive smooth & steady... sudden changes & loud noises attract unwanted attention.
3. If you get busted, pull over smoothly & safely. Stop & turn engine off.
4. Keep your hands on the wheel. Turn on interior light if it's night.
5. Do not get out of the car. Wait for the Officer to tell you what to do.
6. If you can say "Sir" without sounding like a wisea$$, that's a good thing.
7. If you're a girl and you start crying, that's a good thing.
8. If you're a guy and you start crying, you're screwed.
9. Ask for a break. You might get it.
10. Once the Officer starts writing, you're screwed.

You sir are absolutely correct.

11. If you're a girl and the officer starts writing, he may be giving you his number.

LASER JAMMERS are NOT illegal in ANY states except for VA. A cop who tells you any different is flat out lying and hoping that you are ignorant of the law. Radar detectors are ALSO illegal in VA. Now RADAR JAMMERS, on the other hand, ARE illegal in all 50 states and a five-figure fine. It's a federal offense to operate one, punishable by up to one year in jail. But radar jammers are not needed, anyway. A good radar detector will give you TONS of time to slow down, as will a good laser jammer.

If it wasn't illegal to have radar detectors here I might of gotten out of the 30mph over ticket I got a few months ago.

Prevention Rule #1 - Go the posted speed limit unless you are on a track...

Not fun, but true..

Well, I thought when I said VA, that DC would have been assumed as well. I stand corrected on the laser jammer laws.

But my point still stands. In 95% of the USA, it's perfectly legal to own and operate radar detectors and laser jammers, as well as apply laser countermeasures such as VEIL and Lasershield. A LEO has absolutely no right to confiscate your equipment for ANY reason, unless you're in a state that outlaws them or you're throwing it at them, lol.

Sometimes this can be a good thing, but I have heard that more times than not it is a bad thing. Depends on the cop I guess .

Do you have any pics of the blinder m20 extreme?? Did you have to cut the grille to mount it? Where is yours mounted? The 2 front led emitters look kinda big, and the 05 mustang doesn't seem like it has a good place to mount it without cutting the grill, show me how its done cuz I want one!!

According to RadarBusters.com:

Radar jammers just became illegal in Colorado on July 1st as well

You mean laser jammers, don't you? Radar jammers are illegal in all 50 states. It's a federal law.

Not sure about Federal law on this issue, but the Colorado law that just went into effect is about radar:

Perhaps radar jammers are illegal under FCC guidelines and this just makes it easier for police officers to nail you on it, I don't know.

yeah, but speeding is illegal in every state!

I've been fortunate to train dozens of law enforcement officers over the years. They have all said they will absolutely write a ticket to a girl who is crying. Even if they approach the car with the idea of just giving a warning, they will absolutely write a crying driver.

Again, I'm sure it depends on the cops. But I have never found an exception to this.

11.If your a girl and your hot, thats is a good thing.

A buddy of mine has a student that got pulled over for speeding and the cop started writing and when he came back gave her his phone# and let her go on her way.
