Caught by cops? Was it with laser / radar / other?

[Zapf]

Just a survey. When you were caught by the cop, was it with laser or radar?

[The Pastor]

laser are only used by speed traps? all other times its radar?

[Lorax]

Red arrow, thought about running it, rolled forward, stopped. Decided to run it about a second later. Bloody cop RIGHT behind me. Dumb dumb dumb. Was nice though, no licence on me and didn't slam me for that.

Lorax not use rear vision mirrors.

[speeding_ant]

I'm going to have to choose all three. :mellow:

[Kittyhawk]

I dunno how I was caught but the cop stopped me lol!

[Highlander]

Where is the option for those of us who have yet to be?

[Toaster]

What exactly do you mean by a speed trap?

Radars are fitted in the vehicles. The Laser is a hand held device.

[Toaster]

I have never had a ticket for anything and doubt I ever will. I am such a good boy.

I dunno how I was caught but the cop stopped me lol!

He liked what he saw and asked for your full details didn't he! :gob: :innocent:

[Squeak the Rat]

He assured me it was a radar, but it looked to me like a dunkin donuts box with a coffee cup attached to the top.

It did say 121, but i reckon that was the number of doughnuts he scoffed before he ran out of revenue.

[Blackbird]

I've found that the use of lasers are far less frequent than the Ka band that the HWP use. (Well, certainly in the central north island) Mufti camera vans use Ka band too.

Speed traps, when the cop car hides and whips out his laser.


Laser can only be used when stationary?

He wasn't what I was looking for....lol

You sure it wasnt Police Chief Wiggum??

[more_fasterer]

Been tailed every time and the cop has taken the speed off his speedo. In 2 of the 3 cases this has resulted in some embellishment by the cop as to how fast I was going - not much you can do when you're the only one on the bike.

Correct.

[scumdog]

Hey, where is the 'Digitector' option eh?

We have met!!! It is still the all time record!! Thought you saw the vivid marker I used to write 121 on the donut box, but you didn't... Phew...

[_intense_]

laser.

//it was a bike cop. His beamer looked really comfy.

[ynot slow]

got home from work and opened letter only to find camera ticket.doing 116km on sh29 at 1200mtrs somewhere on kaimai rd to tauranga.i'd like to know if they guess the speed as i was sure the radar went off just beforehand(only picks up when pretty close for cameras),and if it was 114km the fine would be less.oh well my fault still have 56 days to pay,buggered if i pay within the first 28 days,wait till get second notice then pay.:innocent:

[JimO]

i got chased on a rd 200 back in the 70s and when i realised (saw the light in the smoke stream) i stopped the cop said "that thing goes ok eh!" got a licence yes i say all right slow down son and be on your way:Punk:

As long as that is all he is whipping out!

Correct.

[boomer]

radar.. with and without my full metal jacket.

the only time i've been blinged by laser is on sh1 near papakura, red light in my eyes, on teh screen waving all over the shop. He didn't stop us doing 14* odd.. probably cos he had parkinsons and couldn't lock on ;)

[Bloody Mad Woman (BMW)]

I'm going to have to choose all three. :mellow:

Me too - however I always get the personal service!! The first time on a bike - I knew immediately after I flew passed him - so slowed and sure enough those red and blue flashing lights were twinkling away!

Of course the above is based on the assumption that I would be working alone.

Which I don't.
