Rabbithunter 456 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 ive never been done with mine. if you get flashed by a gatso from the front you cant be prosecuted anyway. if you are paced by a police car without a camera and they pull you just deny it. they always wait for you to admit speeding even only 2 miles over. never admit to shit all!!!! if you get pulled by a traffic car which is almost always equipped with a camera that car has to have been calibrated that day it is in use or it will not stand up in court because you could argue that the camera was not "calibrated" ie setup properly. if you get pulled by a pedestrian officer with a laser gun same again with dont admit to going over and argue that he did what is called the quick draw with it, or pointed it at a plane, or it again hasnt been calibrated. if you know the law well enough they are pointless things anyway. i dont know if the copper will have aimed it at a plane mind Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J Darcy 5,871 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I don,t think there illegal as i,m sure they would,nt be available to the general public in the high street.I drive for a living & i dont own one but i,ve seen plenty of vehicles with them.Using a mobile is illegal but 1000,s of people still do whilst driving.If you intend to use it as a early warning system whilst driving to the speed limits i can,t see the plod stopping you however if it,s to aid you excessivelly speeding i think the plod might take a dim view of the detector if you get your collar felt there is a clause where it isnt illegal, something to do with owning a radio licence, or something of a very similar nature.....
