i really doubt a spinning tire is going to make a difference on radar. one, it's made of rubber, which a pretty nonreflective surface. the tread gives it a crappy profile, so what is reflected is going to be diffracted away from the gun. two, the radar is moving at the speed of light, so it sees a tire at rest, not moving. all it's doing is measuring the time it takes for consecutive pulses to hit the target and reflect back to the gun. these days, most radar isn't left on all the time, so a radar detector is only going to tell you it's too late, you've already been clocked. i drive a massive yellow brick, and haven't been stopped, but i typically drive the speed limit anyway. my 2 cents, your mileage may vary

It ain't yellow but it's definitely a brick ... I too have learned it's not worth $120 dollars worth of ticket to save 5 minutes on a drive down town. Plus not having to stand on the brake every time Miss Piggy is out trying to bust speeders during rush hour .... price less :-) And if I've offended a cop with that comment... If you've ever been pulled over by someone who is NOT a complete jacka$$/jerk/d*ck/a$$hole/condesending sh*t in the Cinci area ... I guess you got the good one LOL!

One of the prime reasons most states require a front license plate is it gives Johnny Law a gauranteed reflective surface to aim thier speed detection devices at. As explained to me along side the road while I was trying to unsuccessfully talk my way out of a ticket, the beam from a lidar, or Vascar is about the size of a pencil at a mile away, but the guns are used at less than half a mile for accuracy. Like Shortbus said, once the detector goes off, you are screwed.

to tell you the truth i think he was full of it. i asked him if he was using radar and he seemed to get angry. he said i was doing 51 then he walked away came back a few seconds later and said i was doing 58 further back. i know how the hummer feels with those tires when i am going that fast. i was doing around 40. he was probably just trying to scare me. it seems weird to that he gave me a ticket for 21 mph over the speed limit. that is the exact number that gets you really screwed. oh well maybe i need to invest in a radar detector....but wait i don't speed

i guess our hummers do stick out like sore thumbs and can get us picked out by jackass cops but i wouldn't drive another car no matter how many tickets i get!!!

Well, if it makes any of you feel better, any ticket you can talk your way out of for speeding I am screwed because I have a CDL and that means I am a "professional" driver at all times.

I'm guessing the punishment for disabling one of those devices is somewhere in the neighborhood of ten to twenty in a maximum security pen ...

Ugh, hell no, I'd rather take the ticket ... and fight it in court if it was yet another BS ticket. I got one for doing 71 in a 65 zone a few years back, WTF!?!?!?!?!?!!!!

The following 15 Police Comments were taken off of actual police car videos around the country:

#15 "Relax; the handcuffs are tight because they're new. They'll stretch out after you wear them awhile."

#14 "Take your hands off the car, or I'll make your birth certificate a worthless document."

#13 "If you run, you'll only go to jail tired."

#12 "Can you run faster than 1200 feet per second? In case you didn't know, that is the average speed of a 9mm bullet fired from
my gun."

#11 "So you don't know how fast you were going. I guess that means I can write anything I want on the ticket, huh?"

#10 "Yes, Sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don't think it will help. Oh ... Did I mention that I am the shift supervisor?"

#9 "Warning! You want a warning? O.K., I'm warning you not to do that again or I'll give you another ticket."

#8 "The answer to this last question will determine whether you are drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?"

#7 "Fair? You want me to be fair? Listen, fair is a place where you go to ride on rides, eat cotton candy, and step in monkey DOO."

#6 "Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a toaster oven."

#5 "In God we trust, all others we run through NCIC."

#4 "Just how big were those two beers?"

#3 "No sir we don't have quotas anymore. We used to have quotas bu t now we're allowed to write as many tickets as we want."

#2 "I'm glad to hear the Chief of Police is a good personal friend of yours. At least you know someone who can post your bail."

And................... THE BEST ONE !!!!!!!

#1 "you didn't think we give pretty women tickets? ... You're right, we don't. .. Sign here.

The best line I ever heard was after a race. I was in my grand national and my frioend was in his supra...I beat him badly and we flew past a cop in the middle of the run, the cop of course stopped the first car he came to, my friend in his supra. Cop walked up to the car and said you were going 90 in a 55, and you were street racing. My friend said officer I lost the race why not go after the guy that beat me and was going alot faster than me. Officer said ....hmm....ok ...here's a ticket for speeding, heres a ticket for street racing and heres a mandatory court appearance for bieng a loser
