I think my FR-S was "profiled" by a WSP ......

Having a good radar detector is like having a 6th sense. Anytime it goes off (radar or laser), just slow down a bit and look and listen to try and pinpoint where the cop is.

It has saved me from many tickets. Haven't got caught speeding once using it.

Radar detectors are illegal here.
They even have radar detector detectors so if you wanted to use one you would need a radar detector detector detector to detect their detector detector before they detected your detector.

I worked on the control boxes that pop chaff to confuse missiles, If I can get you a deal will you try it out and see if it will confuse cops too?

All of which could be screwed up by a spray of tinfoil confetti or the naked human eye.

Damn, I didn't read this until after I responded to Ultra's post! We were so totally on the same wavelength!

This is how I usually know there is a cop up ahead on a busy highway. Has worked very well for me for years.

I had a drunk guy, smelled alcohol like he dumped it on himself, t-bone me. He had a brief case that he wouldn't let go of the entire time we were there at the scene. Gee, I wonder what was inside it? When the highway patrol came to the scene, I explained how I turned on a green arrow but he would not look at the light for some reason to see I was telling the truth and he gave me the ticket for going through a red light. I obviously took the ticket to court to fight it. While waiting to go into the court room the drunk guy is talking to some other guy and we overhear him saying something about going to eat after this guy. Didn't think anything of that. Come to find out this guy was a surprise witness that nobody knew about that supposedly stopped and gave drunk guy his info and then left the accident scene..... Yeah that whole situation left a bad taste in my mouth for highway cops for a while. I was 16 and was driving a older Camaro and the drunk guy probably 50 and a newer Cadillac or Buick. I think it was more I was the younger driver thing as that cop just didn't care what I had to say about what happened.

My accident was back in the olden days before digital dashcams, cellphones and all the fancy stuff.
We would strap midgets to the fronts of our our horses and they would just take notes on what they see. I didn't even have a pager yet at that time as only drug dealers and doctors had use for them.

The next thing that you will be trying to tell us ....... is that you used a paper map to find out where you were going ...... and had to stop at a pay phone if you wanted to make a phone call .......

Apparently pot was much different in the 30s. These seem to be the total opposites to what the few pot smokers I ever knew actually did. Not to mention the very fact that judging from the poster they seem to have injected it back then.
