cops and radar guns

Im not too sure. It depends. Once ive copped it from a parked cop car and saw a flash. That time i got it in the mail. But on my way to canberra at night i couldnt see anything cos it was dark and the cheeky buggers headlights just came on right before i passed him and he sped off after me.

Did you see a flash? If not your probably ok.

Wheres officer greeny? sure he can tell you about this.

 

Ive heard soomething like that too! But i heard its because the flash may blind or stun the driver.

I know with fixed speed cameras, even tho there are signs on both sides of the road, you can safely speed past it if your going the direction facing the camera, i do it all the time, heheheheh

 

Do you guys know that you can buy radar jammers for fitting to bikes (and they actually work). There available from U.S. suppliers and they prevent the radar or laser device from registering a speed. They are however, as far as I know prohibited in all Australian states.<!-- s:cop --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cop.gif" alt=":cop" title="Cop" /><!-- s:cop -->

 

you can get em for cars too but i wouldnt reccomend it. Big trouble if you get caught with it

 

ok heres how it is, use at own risk
A nifty little semiconductor called
a Gunn Diode ( i dunno where u get them from ) will generate microwaves when supplied with the 5 to
10 volt DC and enclosed in the correct size cavity (resonater). An
8 to 3 terminal regulator can be used to get this voltage from a
car's 12v system. However, the correct construction and tuning of
the cavity is difficult without good microwave measurement
equipment. Police radars commonly operate on the K band at 22 ghz.
Or more often on the X band at 10.525 ghz. most microwave intruder
alarms and motion detectors (mounted over automatic doors in
supermarkets & banks, etc.) contain a Gunn type
transmitter/receiver combination that transmits about 10 kilowatts
at 10.525 ghz. These units work perfectly as jammers. When you get the unit it may be mounted in a
plastic box on the dash or in a weather-proff enclosure behind the
PLASTIC grille. Switch on the power when on an open highway. The
unit will not jam radar to the side or behind the car so don't go past it speeding. OK i dunno how accurate this stuff is, i pulled it from a friend of a friend. USE AT OWN RISK, I AM NOT A CRIMINAL

 

i think it would be safer to get one of those radar detectors so you know when one is coming up and you can just slow down. anyone know where to get one?

 

Radar detectors would be better than a jamar wouldn't it? Coz if uve got a jammer...its gonna be very obvious if u cop car cant pick up your speed.

 

Not really, a jammer would just prevent the gun from registering a speed, suggesting a fault with the machine. You cannot be charged without a speed being registered and even if they do charge you, a magistrate will reject it at a hearing.

Most jammer units are designed to fit under the pillion and within the frame of the bike, so they are not visible. Anyway, they are prohibited, so you have to fit one at your own risk. <!-- s:cop --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cop.gif" alt=":cop" title="Cop" /><!-- s:cop -->

 

Yeah but those things would be reliable..if theyve got it pinged at u for ages..and its not registering...then it registers straight away with another car or bike....They're not stupid..

 

exactly
i reckon a radar detector is the way to go. that way you can just slow down.

 

haha some funny advice. Chiangstar lidar (Where a cop has a gun and is pointing at you) is not a speed camera. Unless you got pulled over you will not (or shouldn't) get a fine.

Speed cameras with flashes cannot take front on photos due to the obvious being blinded by the flash.

Whether it be a radar detector or radar jammer NSW police use radar detector/jammer detectors. And you will be pinged for that instead of the speed.
And unless you were travelling at 100kmh+ over the limit, the speeding fine would be cheaper than possesing a detector/jammer.

Oh and there is a speeding ticket for "estimated speed". <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="" title="Cool" /><!-- s -->

It's useful having a police officer on this forum... Thanks greeny for all the info!

 

So how well do those radar detector detectors work greeny? My mates got one in his car and he hasn't been caught with it. I think his had it for over 2 years.

Also, how does that estimated speed thing work? And how accurate is it? lol. Do u have to do a course or something? And if u wanted to...could u say someones doin 40 kms over the limit even though they were say doin only 10 kms over? How can a person fight the ticket?

 

No greeny, please don't. Youll tempt me to break the law all the time, lol

 

hey greeny, just got a quick question for you.

I have a scanner which i sometimes listen to for amusement. Hear alot of entertaining things. Like tonight i heard of a car parked in the left lane on a major city street with its hazards on and four guys dancing in the street. hahahah
also heard of a man at the rocks screaming and howling at the moon. lol

anyways my question is this. I always hear the police checking numberplates on cars constantly but to this day i have never heard em check a bike. why is that?
