<![CDATA[Got a speeding ticket today....]]>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?

I 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.

Your fault on that one. Now go apologize to the cop for being to fucking lazy to renew your tabs.

that is the only industry that can charge pretty much what ever they want with in reason and never have to tell untill its already done

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.

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

I would not call a cop a prick for that. It is your problem for not getting new tags on time.

i always thought that they are illegal. just from what I had heard. Here is a quick detector/jammer law info page i found:
http://www.007radardetectors.com/legal.htm

Radar Detectors - The Operation of a radar detector and or laser detector is legal in every state with the exception of Virginia and Washington DC. It is illegal to use a radar detector and or laser detector while on a military base or in a commercial vehicle weighing over 10,000 pounds.

Only illegal devices are Jammers

Yeah, I know. MN counts the number of violations so anything will fuck you hard. 4 violations in a year = suspension

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.

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.

That is because you drive a mustang.:D

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.
