[QUOTE="BOOGIE MAN, post: 16246117, member: 26082"] A radar detector on the windshield removes the benefit of the doubt. An LEO sees a radar detector and thinks that the driver speeds enough on the regular to want to try to hide from the law so you won't get anywhere near the leniancy you would if you didn't have one. I may or may not have been pinged, seen the LEO come for me, take the detector down, and play nice. I may have even been asked by an LEO if I have a detector. "No sir, why do you ask?" Well you hit your brakes right after I pinged you. "The speed crept up on me sir, I looked down and realized I was too fast and tried to slow down." I left the scene with just a warning. Never be the first car in pack. When I'm on long hauls I'll do 5 over until someone passes me, then I'll follow them at about 300yds until we get passed and I hitch my wagon to that car. If detector goes off, LEO is pinging the car you're following and you've got time to slow down. Keep a 300yd-ish distance, listen for alarms, and frequently check your rear view to make sure there aren't any creeping up behind you. Pops called this "shaking the trees and raking the leaves." First guy's getting the attention and the trail guy is making sure everything's clean behind. Let the detector tell you that somebody else is being hit. If you're the first car all the radar detector is going to tell you is that you've been hit and you might as well pull over. Don't speed over hills or around bends unless you're trailing someone. Random story Pops tells a story of him and his dad on a trip, two cars both with CBs, trail car on radio "heads up, you've got a local yocal coming up behind" and the LEO comes on the radio and says "I'm no yocal, I'm a full grown bear (in a deep growling voice)." LEO ropes them both and ends up being a gearhead too, they talked cars a bit and he told them to slow down and be on their way. ...and Maximus said to Commodus, "the time for honoring yourself will soon come to an end."
