You won't get ticketed, but if you do get pulled over for speeding the cop is probably going to be a lot less leinient if you have a radar detector.I beg to differ. I got pulled over for 45 in a 35 on Main Ave last year in my Mustang with the fuzz buster in the window and the guy gave me a verbal warning.

9 point ticket, but it doesnt matter....i am a minnesota reisident. Hey Dangler, I may be interested in yours if you want to sell it.ND tickets DO transfer over to Minnesota.
That fucked me hard with a 80 in a 75 ticket and a "speed: care required." MN actually ended up suspending my license because of them. -

I dont need any lectures on slowing down, I know I was going too fast......its not like I drive like an idiot everywhere I go. Just happened to be in a hurry, which in turn made the trip longer because of speeding. I want a radar detector because they do work unless you are lasered. The ticket sucks and effects me with insurance, I take full blame and am not making excuses.

So we drive cross country going 85-90 the entire way and do not get a speeding ticket. The next day I am going 83 on I-94 and I get pulled over between I-29 and 45th street. $49 ticket isnt bad though, thank god I was not in Minnesota. I think I need a radar detector....any suggestions?
not that it matters to you..... but there is always a state patrol (usualy the charger one) sitting right in that area lately, i always see him sitting there when i go into town to drop my girlfriend off.... so this is just a warning to others...... -

LOLI got one on 42nd for 53 I thought i was in the 40 mph zone 13 over but i was, according to the cop, in the 30 mph zone. There is absolutly nothing between 32nd ave and I-94, why is that a 30 mph zone!? Anywho 23 over in a "slow" zone BING 5 points and 150 bucks. Plus the asshole gave me a $60
fine for have expired tags, 4 days after they expired, prick.

The only things that i have found that radar detectors have been able to pick up on are the local major stores security systems and auto door openers.
And it seems like we always get pissed off at someone and call them names when they are doing their job and telling us that we are in the wrong or just telling us what is needed:
Cops for telling us we are speeding even tho we know it is wrong
Med Dr. for charging us a lot for medication and exam even tho we know we have the flu
Auto Technicians for wanting to charge $X for a repair job even tho you think you can do it for less on your own time
Restraunts for the huge bill after a nice big dinner and many, many, many alchy drinks -
That's partially true, but like the medical field example...medical things are WAY overpriced. Buying a screw at a hardware store costs what, $1 lets say. The same screw that would be used in a medical procedure would cost $15. Drug companies, doctors, and medical parts suppliers are all in bed with eachother and getting rich because of it.
