Alex Grube it's also alot more to do with the other people rather than the person driving the vehicle. For instance I live slightly outside of a town (about 2 miles) and the speed limit used to be 55 with a "cautionary" 45mph speed because it's a residential area... which isn't enforceable... long story short a few of my neighbors felt unsafe because the actual speed limit was 55 and when they went to get mail or take out their garbage there would be trucks going 65 2 feet away from them so they lowered the actual speed limit to 45. It's perfectly safe to go 55-65 on that road, it's dead straight with no hills and good visibility, but there are kids and deer and all that stuff to think about too
Alex Grube no, if people are going to speed anyway, we should have the speed limit lower than higher because if the speed limit is raised, theyre just going to speed over that limit
I hate when cops feel the need to set up speed traps in rural locations in the middle of nowhere. The speed limit in that area doesn't make sense to begin with. Who the hell is going to go 35 mph in that place????
Rieksfier Could be. From my personal experience, these cops place themselves in isolated areas where they know they're going to catch people. Not necessarily because speeding is a safety issue in that location, but rather because they know they're going to make money there.
Nickhead87 Cause you know me, right? You know where I work and how much I make, and that I took tens of thousands in student loans, cause I totally didn't work my own way through college, yes? Cause I'm an open book to you? Is that right? You've been fed long enough.
easier to know how to avoid em....won't lie i have never been pulled over but came hella close lots of times....there would even be times where I fly past a cop in oncoming traffic doing 70 in a 45
If all these cars are going the same speed, it seems that THAT should be the speed for the road. Its not like everyone was driving unsafely. Setting a low speed just entraps people for no good reason. Raising revenue isn't a good reason.
MsMsmak speed limits are set on road conditions(ie curves, width of road, etc), areas (ie business, residential, highway), and number of intersections and driveways. speed limits are not set on the speed that most people decide to travel.
+Richard Inyagills but some roads have speed limits set yet people drive much faster and traffic still flows smoothly..... there's one road near my house where the limit was 50....couple years later they dropped it to 45 for one side of the road, yet the other side was and still is 50 and its in a residential/school area but the homes have large driveways/clearings so the homes are way off from the road
dopex2xdeath doesnt matter what people drive or how traffic flows, speed limits are legally set limits based on mathematics. if a new house was built or an additional driveway was formed that put that side of the road into the 45mph category then thats what happened. i want to go 85 everywhere i go, i have the skillset, i have the vehicle to do it reliably, but laws limit my conscienable ability to do so. we have a road called Shore Dr. here, it was a 45mph road. nothing changed on that road for many years and yet the snobby locals decided that 45 was too fast for a 4 lane highway so they decided 35 was a good number. the petitioned the city and the state to change it on demand. the refused based on mathematics and the law determining the number of entrances and exits on that road....so these rich ass fools got together and figured out they were 15 driveways shy of reduction so they spend an estimated $150,000 in pouring additional driveways to force the city to reevaluate the speed limits. after the speed was dropped the city had the authority to develop natural lands because it crossed the threshold. so after 3 years they built 20+ new buildings with driveways...the rich residents tore up their false driveways, resodded their yards and today the limit is 35mph....with stop lights(which were calibrated at 45mph traffic), crosswalks, school zones, it now takes 35minutes to travel down a road that used to take 20.
You should visit the Netherlands then, you Americans would fade if you knew how the police roll over here when it comes to giving people tickets and the prices of those tickets ..........
You call it a tax, yet you fail to understand that its a conditional tax. If you speed then you will be taxed. If you don't speed you won't be taxed. As far as I'm concerned that's the best tax I've ever heard of, you don't even have to pay if you don't do one simple thing. Crazy huh?
Oh god So many idiots here playing the good guy who never exceeds the speed limit! They are ignorant about the fact that speed control on open roads (not neighborhoods) has never been shown to improve safety, there is highways with 55 mph limit, 65, 70 and 80 it is all arbitrary! Germany has no speed limits on highways! Several counties in US has changed the speed limit back and forth on the same roads based on their money need! Yes it is a tax system and big money to insurance companies who are eager to increase premiums! And hello who doesn’t exceed the limit at times other than idiots and grannies (understandable in that case) even cops have never stayed below the limit it is all a joke
speeding a victimless crime what generates more money for local governments than any other thing out there. Road Pirates they should be out catching criminals drug dealers rapist murderers but they want to f*** with somebody trying to make it to work on time or pick their kid up at school
Haha, are you serious? Any 'misalignment' of a radar will work in the drivers favour and not the police's. The maximum speed they could get off you is if they were right in front of you and you were travelling straight at them. Any angle reduces the detected speed as a product of the actual speed and the cos of the angle off straight. It does not 'easily cause' accidents if you're doing the speed limit where as the flow of the traffic is not, sit in the slow lane and everyone will overtake you. Speeding causes accidents as well, even if the flow is speeding. Speeding also increase the rate of mortality significantly. If you have a problem with speed signs or vegetation obstructing speed signs, then talk to the local government/council or whoever and get it fixed. Speed traps are called that because they are positioned in places where people are known to speed, and that they are positioned in such a way that you will not be able to slow down before a speed is locked in, they trap you. As a driver of a potential 1.5tonne+ weapon, it is your responsibility to do the speed limit, and obey the law. If you cannot maintain a certain speed for a reasonable amount of time between checks of your speedo, you either need to give your licence back, or perhaps learn how to do it. Not to mention the fact that most post 2005, and even post 2000 era cars have cruise control, you should be able to maintain your speed. You know that police run speed traps, and generally speaking you wont get done for 1-3 mph over the limit, anymore, then you deserve a speed ticket. You can argue that it is "revenue raising", but the great thing about it, is that you only have to contribute to that revenue, if you speed. If you don't speed, you won't lose any money. Speed = possible fine Don't speed = no fine
So, you're saying there should be flags, signs, and warning lights indicating there is a cop around the corner and you should slow down to the posted speed? They already exist. They're called speed limit signs. Choose to ignore them and you take your chances. I don't see a problem here.
How did you make that conclusion? Based on what? Telling you to stick to the speedlimit? Wow, what a douchebag..... If he's passing someone he can do the speed limit. The speed limit, is just that, a limit, as in not going beyond it. This technically includes the passing lane. Regardless what lane you're in the speed limit applies. Different lanes don't have different limits, its all the same.
lilkamabeast i’m the type that stay there next to another car or truck for miles just to annoy people. i’m really patient and the more you swerve to see what’s going on ahead the slower i get. then i slightly back down so there’s a gap between me and the car next to me so you think ok i’m a get on the right lane floor it and pass this guy. after you switch lanes i floor it and get back next to that car again.
I thibk it's Bullshit how they sit at the bottom of the hill. obviously they'll be going a litter faster no one sits on the brakes going down the hill. But everyone should invest in a radar detector. you would know he was sitting there miles before.
Actually people do brake when they go down hills if they start going faster than the speed limit, its called driving. The brakes are what slows you down, in case you didn't know that already. You know what you could also do, which would save you more money, not speed. That way you don't get fined, and you don't have to spend money on a radar detector.
WiscoCheese1848 love my 100$ radar detector, and your absolutely right they never see me going over the speed limit and it goes off long before I see them,
He's a traffic cop, this is his job. There are other cops who specilise in catching the "criminals". Speed limits are the law, and speeding is braking the law. So someone who speeds is in fact not a law abiding citizen.
Nickhead87 he also comes to a complete stop at every stop sign! Anybody who doesn’t is not a law abiding citizen ! Haha Some people need to get a life!
Nickhead87 Dont know where you live but in NC its not “illegal” to do the speed limit in the left lane, theres no such thing as a “fast” lane. The signs are mearly a suggestion... you don’t believe me? Find the NC General Statute hat says otherwise and get back to me
+Hazm In Canada, it's very common to drive 20km/h over on highways and freeways. On residential roads 16km/h is kind of pushing it, and might net you a ticket. From what I hear from my friends in the states, 10mph is common but anything over this is grounds for being pulled over.
You can get fined for 3kp/h over on a 110kp/h highway here as well, its the minimum amount over the limit that we can now get booked for anywhere on the road.
Hazm No police in the world would ever attempt to cite you with this. The courts would instantly throw it out. However, I have actually gotten cited for 3km over, but only because it was reduced to this from like 25km over by the ETF randomly.
John Cartwright Its usually the speed cameras that do it and you just get sent a fine in the mail and everybody just pays it because it would cost more and not be worth the hassle to go to court, usually. This is one of the reasons there is a huge argument among everyone about whether revenue raising is an issue within Victoria Police.
Hazm Which province? I've never heard of a speed trap giving less than 10km/h leniency. There are many reasons for hover slightly above or below the speed limit, i.e., maintaining the flow of traffic. In fact, these cases are extremely easy to win considering it doesn't account for average speed given a distance threshold. Ontario for example has eliminated the usage of speed cameras because they lack context since something like 2006.
tony1pugz444 You do know cops pay taxes too right?! So does that mean they pay their own salaries? That is the most idiotic statement EVER. You should look up how much taxes actually make it to the cops
On New Years day a couple years back I was pulled for speeding and I was going 37. Officer said do you know how fast you were going I said yes, 35. He then stated the speed limit is 25. Oh crap! I admitted it was my mistake and that I hadn't been down that road in at least 20 years. He let me go after saying he didn't want me to start my new year off with a ticket. Although somewhat narrow this road was straight and flat with homes on one side. It's very hard to only go 25 mph on that road. Really makes no sense but it is what it is!
Most speeder are just an infraction of law, not even an arrest-able offense. Police on traffic enforcement are simply tax collectors for city hall. We complain about crime, then place police in position where there actions has nothing to do with the prevention of crime or the enforcing of law.
You just contradicted yourself. Writing a ticket for an infraction is enforcing the law. Even minor infractions must be addressed or human nature will take over. If speeding is ignored, it won't be long before people are driving as fast as they want regardless of what is reasonable and safe.
ikillbugs : A crime is different from an infraction. You can be arrested for a crime. An infraction is a non- arrest able offense. Infractions are one of many tools city, county and the state use to get tax money. As a tax payer I would rather have police preventing crime rather than enforcing infractions.
speeding is a misdemeanor here. up to 1 year in jail. not even kidding. state law. so suck on your theory. you think you are smarter than the legislature? LOL
Evan Wheeler Well if they didn't do this people would drive as fast as they wanted to, which would be dangerous because people are notorious for having poor judgement. I hate that they do this too but I know that the fear that I have in the back of my mind of getting a ticket is a pretty effective way of stopping traffic accidents.
556forlunch Who, me? I know I was personally involved in a head-on collision with a woman who ran a red light because she was texting and going 50 in a 35. The rest of my knowledge comes from a basic understanding of logic, physics, and the world around me. You?
Crimes can't be prevented, you should know better. The main purpose of the police is maintain the order, enforce the law and protect citizens. If you heard, he is a traffic unit..... Nobody has lose the soul of their profession.
tks designz only reason I say that is because I've passed state troopers and regular squad cars coming from the opposite direction of me doing speeds almost 60-80 in 45-50 areas but they were kinda hidden from my view, and to make myself look less suspicious I would let off the gas but not touch the brakes so they wouldn't see my tail lighting up trying to slow down or my car leaning forward, and after cautiously looking at them in my side view mirror they just continue on like nothing just happened One cop did light me up once though (still in opposite lane/direction), but I think it was more because he heard my engine at high rev and me flying past a car in another lane....I did slam on the brakes but he was just giving me a warning I guess
This is what I have been trying to say for many years how police would literally wait until you’re right up on them to read your speeds. So having a radar detector would help in a way long as you have someone or just others in front of you to shield you from radar reading your speeds. See the difference….so basically when using a radar detector your more like 50% safe against police speed traps vs 0 meaning driving unprotected.
Jay Smith I agree It should be your choice But in Florida and Arizona you can ride a motorcycle without a helmet go figure but make sure you wear that seatbelt click it or ticket is just a money campaign to increase revenue for the state
they don't make that much money in Oklahoma the tickets are only $25 and they are rarely given out. unless you were speeding then they may hit you with that ticket also if you lacked the seat belt. It's sort of dumb not to wear a seat belt also. You may be the best driver in the world but what happens when another driver swerves into your lane. Or if a deer were to jump out infront of you at 70mph?
I have many cop friends. They tell me they won't issue a citation unless the driving is wreckless in nature. They give warnings, but not citations because they feel they just increase the insurance industries profits for writing citations and they don't want to feel that way.
Robert Ortega this is true. 😆. I drive a commercial truck so it is against the law for me to run a radar. I zip around the county and so far have had excellent results dodging them. I also find it funny that the same manufacturer that makes the radars also provide the counter measure radars. it's a win win for them. your correct though if you have that style radar your good to go.
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos Exactly the low skill driver caused it, seen many better skilled drivers avoid situations like that. I drive an hour for work, see this everyday idiots who don't use turn signals, drive very slow, or decide to exit quickly while in the fast lane...
according to our traffic laws over here the advisory speed limit on unlimited roads is at 80 mph. Of course, before pulling over you look into your mirrors, but you don't have to expect them approaching at their top speed. Driving faster than 80 mph also the one who didn't "cause" the accident is liable; I don't push it too far, depending on the car I don't drive faster than 125 to 150 mph, but there are of course people driving way faster than me; When someone pulls over in front of me (with some good distance, but with me still required to brake quite hard but without coming too close, the other driver did nothing wrong). The faster ones have to adapt to the slower vehicle's speed, not the other way around I don't know how it's relevant how long someone is driving to work or so, but my drive to work and back home is approx 1 hour, plus up to 12h driving during my work
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos Never said anything about driving extremely fast like over 80MPH. I'm simply talking about 70mph or a few over isn't much. I've seen car "join" the highway while going 50-60 while everyone is going 70mph ----->that is a major problem. Driver should join in the enter lane to match the speed of the cars in the highway. Too many times some people driver as if they're the only ones the road and as long as their under the speed limit-----they're good. By law, yes they are ok, but they are still causing obstacles on the highway that make it more difficult to navigate already. Glad in 4-lane highways(2 in each direction) its illegal to ride the fast lane unless passing. City driving with 3 lanes or more, unfortunately the slower not aware of their surroundings drivers switch lanes out of nowhere into more faster lanes because they can. Forcing backups and unnecessary braking and have to switch lanes just to pass them.
Not even the radar detector can help you in 2016. They use a POP Radar. The radar is in sleep mode, and when they see you they POP the radar and in 0.010 sec they allready have your speed
I thought the title said How "Gangsta" police catch speeders. I was annoyed and about to dislike when I finished the video till I realized that I'm the dumbass here.
If I was a cop I’d request an unmarked p71 and request to put mustang wheels and tires so people would think I was one. Then I’d be pullin people like crazy lol
I like to speed on the freeways, I have my radar comando sr60 and works great!!!and have my camero fixed for full 12hp speeds...and hydrogen hydraulic speed control...with full traction twin cam bars under my frame for great traction...runs like a near speedster. ...
Need them here in South Florida where there is very little enforcement of traffic laws and fatal accidents are all too common. On the other hand, I lived in a town in NJ where if you drove anything over the speed limit of 25 mph, the cops would ticket u. There needs to be a balance.
i trust Escort Redline, it is undetectable by radar detector detectors used in VA and Washington DC. Before i has Escort 9500 ix, very nice unit, it uses GPS to mark points with false signals so it won't go off if you pass that point again.
Rocky Mountain Radar military computer technology undisputed You can’t catch what you don’t see Have been a customer now since 2006 and here it is October 2021 and still the best technology out there regardless for what state you live or country 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

They are glorified tax collectors

If all these cars are going the same speed, it seems that THAT should be the speed for the road. Its not like everyone was driving unsafely. Setting a low speed just entraps people for no good reason.
Raising revenue isn't a good reason.

keeping them taxes low

Dont know where you live but in NC its not “illegal” to do the speed limit in the left lane, theres no such thing as a “fast” lane. The signs are mearly a suggestion... you don’t believe me? Find the NC General Statute hat says otherwise and get back to me
the road I live on is the fucking illinois autobahn everyone goes like 90
Maybe move your tent out of the median.
can you shake the camera more thnx
Escort some of the best detectors out there. Haven't gotten a ticket since :)
name and brand?
escort
My valentine one picks up the signal radiating from the radar unit way before the police get a strong enough return to calculate my speed
McGinnisStudio that's right I love my V1
Most people here don't understand
Dfr7 is the way to go
In Germany we drive on " Autobahn " and on the " Bundesstraße " 140 km/h or what ever we want this means 100-310 km/h
this is the real and unfortunate example of how our tax dollars are being spent
Cody B how is this unfortunate lol
Yeah, I'm sure the residents living along that roadway are really offended by their efforts to slow traffic down to reasonable speeds.
Thats a residential area?
John Doe
Who said anything about a residential area? In case you haven't noticed, people/families live beside roadways throughout America.
Cody B fuck you and that piece of shit corvette
That remote looks like something from the 70s
In Australia 10 mph over (~16kph over) would cost hundreds in an instant fine and only 18mph over can get your license suspended for a year :'(
+Hazm In Canada, it's very common to drive 20km/h over on highways and freeways. On residential roads 16km/h is kind of pushing it, and might net you a ticket.
From what I hear from my friends in the states, 10mph is common but anything over this is grounds for being pulled over.
You can get fined for 3kp/h over on a 110kp/h highway here as well, its the minimum amount over the limit that we can now get booked for anywhere on the road.
Hazm No police in the world would ever attempt to cite you with this. The courts would instantly throw it out. However, I have actually gotten cited for 3km over, but only because it was reduced to this from like 25km over by the ETF randomly.
John Cartwright Its usually the speed cameras that do it and you just get sent a fine in the mail and everybody just pays it because it would cost more and not be worth the hassle to go to court, usually. This is one of the reasons there is a huge argument among everyone about whether revenue raising is an issue within Victoria Police.
Hazm Which province? I've never heard of a speed trap giving less than 10km/h leniency. There are many reasons for hover slightly above or below the speed limit, i.e., maintaining the flow of traffic. In fact, these cases are extremely easy to win considering it doesn't account for average speed given a distance threshold. Ontario for example has eliminated the usage of speed cameras because they lack context since something like 2006.
he's demonstrating how they extort the people who.pay their salaries
tony1pugz444
You do know cops pay taxes too right?! So does that mean they pay their own salaries? That is the most idiotic statement EVER. You should look up how much taxes actually make it to the cops
apparently lots of these units, maybe older version, are only calibrated up to 120 mph.
On New Years day a couple years back I was pulled for speeding and I was going 37. Officer said do you know how fast you were going I said yes, 35. He then stated the speed limit is 25. Oh crap! I admitted it was my mistake and that I hadn't been down that road in at least 20 years. He let me go after saying he didn't want me to start my new year off with a ticket. Although somewhat narrow this road was straight and flat with homes on one side. It's very hard to only go 25 mph on that road. Really makes no sense but it is what it is!
Most speeder are just an infraction of law, not even an arrest-able offense. Police on traffic enforcement are simply tax collectors for city hall. We complain about crime, then place police in position where there actions has nothing to do with the prevention of crime or the enforcing of law.
You just contradicted yourself. Writing a ticket for an infraction is enforcing the law. Even minor infractions must be addressed or human nature will take over. If speeding is ignored, it won't be long before people are driving as fast as they want regardless of what is reasonable and safe.
ikillbugs : A crime is different from an infraction. You can be arrested for a crime. An infraction is a non- arrest able offense. Infractions are one of many tools city, county and the state use to get tax money. As a tax payer I would rather have police preventing crime rather than enforcing infractions.
Then whom do you propose to enforce traffic laws?
speeding is a misdemeanor here. up to 1 year in jail. not even kidding. state law. so suck on your theory. you think you are smarter than the legislature? LOL

Cool keep using your little gadget I run a jammer and Radar haven't got a ticket in years go catch the real bad guys
I hope they catch you and crush your car
Your comment is so creative
You must be 10 years old or have a brain of a 5 year old
Robert Ortega your jammer only works on certain ones bro. They have ones that won't jam
Mike Gauer it works where I'm and when I travel codes are placed in the system to avoid delays on the jammer
gilbert martinez that's right Gilbert
I'm all for blue lives, but this is what pisses me off about the law. you're not protecting or saving any one with this bs.
Evan Wheeler Well if they didn't do this people would drive as fast as they wanted to, which would be dangerous because people are notorious for having poor judgement. I hate that they do this too but I know that the fear that I have in the back of my mind of getting a ticket is a pretty effective way of stopping traffic accidents.
wtf do you know about traffic accidents?
556forlunch Who, me? I know I was personally involved in a head-on collision with a woman who ran a red light because she was texting and going 50 in a 35. The rest of my knowledge comes from a basic understanding of logic, physics, and the world around me. You?
lol poor judgement cause they were never properly taught how to drive..
vetis24 you can teach a man to drive, but you can't teach him common sense
Met this slimeball one time. Seemed like the type of guy to write speeding tickets.
Crimes can't be prevented, you should know better. The main purpose of the police is maintain the order, enforce the law and protect citizens. If you heard, he is a traffic unit..... Nobody has lose the soul of their profession.
oh fuck, I thought they could only tell your speed when they were stationary
Same
no lol, the machine does a equation of the cops speed and the increasing or decreasing closure rate and that equation will give them your speed.
tks designz only reason I say that is because I've passed state troopers and regular squad cars coming from the opposite direction of me doing speeds almost 60-80 in 45-50 areas but they were kinda hidden from my view, and to make myself look less suspicious I would let off the gas but not touch the brakes so they wouldn't see my tail lighting up trying to slow down or my car leaning forward, and after cautiously looking at them in my side view mirror they just continue on like nothing just happened
One cop did light me up once though (still in opposite lane/direction), but I think it was more because he heard my engine at high rev and me flying past a car in another lane....I did slam on the brakes but he was just giving me a warning I guess
i used to live in Dallas props guys
This is what I have been trying to say for many years how police would literally wait until you’re right up on them to read your speeds. So having a radar detector would help in a way long as you have someone or just others in front of you to shield you from radar reading your speeds.
See the difference….so basically when using a radar detector your more like 50% safe against police speed traps vs 0 meaning driving unprotected.
same thing with the seat belt they don't care if live or die ,is all about the cash.
Jay Smith I agree It should be your choice
But in Florida and Arizona you can ride a motorcycle without a helmet go figure but make sure you wear that seatbelt click it or ticket is just a money campaign to increase revenue for the state
Nelson Perez Seat belts are statically proven to save lives. Manufactures don't add seat belts for no reason. It's there to save lives.
Actually most due care...they don't want to pull up to a accident and see a disfigured body that was ejected through the windshield.
they don't make that much money in Oklahoma the tickets are only $25 and they are rarely given out. unless you were speeding then they may hit you with that ticket also if you lacked the seat belt. It's sort of dumb not to wear a seat belt also. You may be the best driver in the world but what happens when another driver swerves into your lane. Or if a deer were to jump out infront of you at 70mph?
I have many cop friends. They tell me they won't issue a citation unless the driving is wreckless in nature. They give warnings, but not citations because they feel they just increase the insurance industries profits for writing citations and they don't want to feel that way.
VaporheadATC how noble
yea sure lol
so everyone approaching this officer seems to be going 40-45 MPH, in a 35 MPH zone.
Should title this "how American police protect and serve (meet quotas)"
He can measure all he wants. Just as long as he stays put.
For some reason I thought he was going to catch amish people speeding in their horse and buggies.
lol
@ 1:28, "i'm the dopler Effect"-Sheldon Cooper lol
Thanks for telling me about what I need to avoid getting caught speeding.... so, get a radar jammer and a laser jammer.
🤣😂
Yeah but when the officer reads an error on the device due to the jammer they are going to jam it up your ass when they catch up lol
what's the one that they have now called 2016 it sits on top or car spends any direction
They shows up on your radar detector as 33.800 if your detector has a specific number display. On MPH guns
What I learned : 10mph over is just fine!
Too some troopers some
waze will pin point these money grabbers.
slinkydoesit that's only if someone reports them get your self a V1 Radar trust me it has saved me many tickets
Robert Ortega this is true. 😆. I drive a commercial truck so it is against the law for me to run a radar. I zip around the county and so far have had excellent results dodging them. I also find it funny that the same manufacturer that makes the radars also provide the counter measure radars. it's a win win for them. your correct though if you have that style radar your good to go.
i thought they only worked once the cop was locking on to you..
Lot of salty people on these comments. Cops have a job to do
Speed doesn't kill, it's the distractions and low skill drivers that cause accidents.
tell that to someone who is skilled, driving at too high speed and someone else coming in his way ...
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos
Exactly the low skill driver caused it, seen many better skilled drivers avoid situations like that. I drive an hour for work, see this everyday idiots who don't use turn signals, drive very slow, or decide to exit quickly while in the fast lane...
according to our traffic laws over here the advisory speed limit on unlimited roads is at 80 mph. Of course, before pulling over you look into your mirrors, but you don't have to expect them approaching at their top speed. Driving faster than 80 mph also the one who didn't "cause" the accident is liable; I don't push it too far, depending on the car I don't drive faster than 125 to 150 mph, but there are of course people driving way faster than me; When someone pulls over in front of me (with some good distance, but with me still required to brake quite hard but without coming too close, the other driver did nothing wrong). The faster ones have to adapt to the slower vehicle's speed, not the other way around
I don't know how it's relevant how long someone is driving to work or so, but my drive to work and back home is approx 1 hour, plus up to 12h driving during my work
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos
Never said anything about driving extremely fast like over 80MPH. I'm simply talking about 70mph or a few over isn't much. I've seen car "join" the highway while going 50-60 while everyone is going 70mph ----->that is a major problem. Driver should join in the enter lane to match the speed of the cars in the highway.
Too many times some people driver as if they're the only ones the road and as long as their under the speed limit-----they're good. By law, yes they are ok, but they are still causing obstacles on the highway that make it more difficult to navigate already.
Glad in 4-lane highways(2 in each direction) its illegal to ride the fast lane unless passing. City driving with 3 lanes or more, unfortunately the slower not aware of their surroundings drivers switch lanes out of nowhere into more faster lanes because they can. Forcing backups and unnecessary braking and have to switch lanes just to pass them.
@@EnjoyFirefightingyeah like he just said people putting themselves in a situation where they loose control or ie inexperienced drivers
Why are these police departments keeping such old officers still active!?.. dude looks like he's in his 70s tf
DOES THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR KEEP TRACK OF THE POLICE CARS SPEED?
damn thats a prime location for tickets
Thank God this barren country road has a 35mph limit
The real thing is what the vehicle looks like from the outside.
That's a pretty cool tech, by the time you see the cop it's already too late, the radar picks up before you slow down. Glad I watched this..
Not even the radar detector can help you in 2016. They use a POP Radar. The radar is in sleep mode, and when they see you they POP the radar and in 0.010 sec they allready have your speed
iTheGeek good luck in VA
Edward Militaru pop is not in use anymore, because it can not be used to issue citations ...no tracking history
they do use instant on and that takes a sec or two to track your speed
RichardDJLilD there is nothing in the market to block radar only laser
this is what a guy does when he doesn't have any other skills
I thought the title said How "Gangsta" police catch speeders. I was annoyed and about to dislike when I finished the video till I realized that I'm the dumbass here.
NYPD officer got a brain tumor and he claimed that it was the result of using a radar antenna when he was assigned to the highway unit
uhaveto bekiddingme Same guy who probably said wifi causes cancer! Lol!
uhaveto bekiddingme I heard that from someone else they should stop using radar
I think that thing is out of date.
How do you make sure you get the right car when there's several cars going by?
"How Gastonia police catch speeders"
Apparently they don't
Gastonia, NC?
this guy is a true American hero.....lmao
"A true tax collector"😂
Speeding isn’t an issue texting is. Which one gets regulated more?
Hell he just let's them go
Here in Gastonia we set the speed 10 mph lower than what everyone wants to drive so we can police for profit.
10mph over the limit and he doesn't arrest him, nice cop.
So this should've been called "how ALL police catch speeders" because every tool he talked about has been around for ages!!!
Rusty Shackleford The time distance system is relatively new and great for catching people with lidar jammers
Time/distance speed enforcement has been around since 1966 with the creation of the VASCAR.
If I was a cop I’d request an unmarked p71 and request to put mustang wheels and tires so people would think I was one. Then I’d be pullin people like crazy lol
How fast would someone have to be going on a 35mph to be pulled over? 40? 45?
Depends on the officer. Some will issue a ticket for 7 over, for some it has to be 15 over if they aren't driving recklessly.
Speeding is a gamble,
deltafan909 For me personally, in a 35 congested area, 45 is my limit to stop for. If it's non-congested, I'll allow up to 50.
why is there a 'lock' feature. why not just return the highest?
I went from getting many, many speeding tickets to very few after spending $140 on my escort radar...Pays for itself
I thought it said How Gastonia Police Catch Spiders. I’m going to bed now 💤
Good luck catching my exactly why I own a valentine one radar detector, will detect bacon from 2 miles away
Well worth the money
pigs
You people just don't learn do you...
+MrShadey mad?
Cops are worthless
In most places in Ohio, yes. Money maker for sure.
He should research doppler effect
I like to speed on the freeways, I have my radar comando sr60 and works great!!!and have my camero fixed for full 12hp speeds...and hydrogen hydraulic speed control...with full traction twin cam bars under my frame for great traction...runs like a near speedster. ...
Victor Reyes
We shall name you Oviosho which means wolf without teeth or rear legs. The Gods have spoken. Live long and prosper.
Watch out for the road Pirates.
Get you some radar jammers baby
Oh stop. It is permissible to go 50 tops on a 35. At least in Charlotte.
Need them here in South Florida where there is very little enforcement of traffic laws and fatal accidents are all too common. On the other hand, I lived in a town in NJ where if you drove anything over the speed limit of 25 mph, the cops would ticket u. There needs to be a balance.
Thanks pig appreciate the advice on how you try to catch me.
I'm glad they have to listen to that annoying noise
Why is that a 35 zone anyways
Jesus christ can you imagine that shit making all that noise with every single car that drives by
does anybody know a good radar that can counter this or nah?
Jonathan Huang
i trust Escort Redline, it is undetectable by radar detector detectors used in VA and Washington DC. Before i has Escort 9500 ix, very nice unit, it uses GPS to mark points with false signals so it won't go off if you pass that point again.
I watched this because I speed and need to know all the tricks these cops got 😂
Rocky Mountain Radar military computer technology undisputed
You can’t catch what you don’t see
Have been a customer now since 2006 and here it is October 2021 and still the best technology out there regardless for what state you live or country 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Seems like they're potentially set up to fail going down that hill
Revenue generating machine.
Waze, Valentine 1 and a laser jammer lol
Brad S and fine and jail
Lmao that ain’t never caught me i speed everyday thru Gastonia
Fuck yeah
mx-6 passes by @1.56
the driving tax.
Collect and serve!!
got nothing better to do. got my first speeding ticket (only) after I moved out in the country. speeded my ass off in the city for twenty years
They should make ones for vehicle s so they can give law enforcement tickets also.
That's a 35 mph. Road?? What a money maker😏
