Hah, I just got pulled over tonight in the ghetto of Oxnard, lol - motorcyle cop pulled me over and claimed I was going 74 MPH in a 35 clocked on laser (I was going no where near 45mph). After I asked him to see the laser gun it turned into 72 MPH on radar; I ask for the radar readings and he then claims he had both hands on his bikes handle bars and was not able to clock me at all - at which point I obviously asked where the BS number of 72mph came from, (traffic wouldn't have even permitted me to go that fast on this busy road) to which he responded "be in court by the 19th of next month, have a nice day" and walks off.
I've never (personally) seen a bike with a built-in radar. Laser would be impossible because of the aiming requirements. I've seen CHP cars with front and rear radar, but that's about it.

Does anyone know if our headlights are effecting these readings?
I did some research on the accuracy of radar guns after I was given a BS ticket. I found out that its getting its reading off a reflective shiny object. Now are lights are known to flicker, so could that actually effect the reading?

i watched an episode of myth busters were they added reflective paint, radar jamming paint, covered the car in mirror balls, shot flares out the side of the car, covered the car in foil and every other way to get a false reading on the car, on k ka and laser they always got teh correct readings accurately. so i would highly doubt that theory.

i was on a forum the other night and one of the members said that he was going to sell his S2k for a different car b/cuz he said he keeps getting pulled over by the cops forcuz of the S2k he drives. Any1 else have any personal experiences with this or know of any1 with an S that does? Maybe this happens to most hooked up cars and my car is too sorry to be noticed?

Think it might be because your friend drives it like he stole it and he is only 17?
But I was thinking, maybe more like 14.
