It was explained a bit earlier, but I'll reiterate... Its what drivers do after they've either matured or don't want any more blasted tickets . Over the past couple years, I've found myself willing to lead 'Leaf Peeper' groups instead of 'Balls Out' groups .

Nope the state trooper was actually pretty cool.... he gave it back and told me he'd much rather get a radar ticket than a speeding ticket any day.... he didn't even tell me not to use it!

Are there no points for a radar ticket?

according to the state police website, there are no points assessed with the fine.
just that they can take it if they deem it nessacary as evidence, hold till the trial then you have to get it back in person or can have it shipped at your expense. and if its not picked up within 6 months its destroyed

false. the beltronics Sti is the only on that is undetectable to all spectre models (which is the radar detector detector) started with model 1 and we are now on model 4

I have not got a ticket since I purchased my V1 a few years ago. I would much rather have the range of detection from my V1 than the stealth abilities of the Bell Sti and not detect a cop until it's too late.
