actually going through durham co. to get to work and some pig tagged me and pulled me over for speeding. I have a radar detector and it didn't go off. And the best part is, I didn't see him sitting on the side of the road, which means he was probably moving...

anybody know what radar frequency those durham country cops use? apparently its not X, Ka, K or Laser 905nm or any POP radar technology

Maybe he just matched his speed against you and wrote the ticket off of what he judged your speed to be.

6/10/2008 10:23:16 AM

he didnt follow me ...he showed up with lights flashing and sirens.....youda thought it was a bust or something

6/10/2008 10:24:27 AM

Maybe they have these http://researchnews.osu.edu/archive/noiserad.htm

6/10/2008 10:24:45 AM

hmm good point

6/10/2008 10:25:18 AM

oh and he didnt write the fine amount on the ticket....I lol'd

6/10/2008 10:26:37 AM

doesnt really matter, theyre "trained to be able to tell how fast youre going" in their little coppy cop schools, according to some local cops i know

its not like youll have any trouble getting it dropped anyways, just a hassle i know

6/10/2008 10:27:13 AM

yea mostly

6/10/2008 10:28:22 AM

On what road was this?

6/10/2008 10:43:01 AM

north durham where US-501 crosses I-85 on the northbound side. I'm sure he was moving while he clocked me because theres no way in hell I was going that fast.

6/10/2008 10:47:40 AM

Haha, I wonder if he just wrote you a bullshit ticket.

Do you drive a fast looking car?

6/10/2008 10:48:30 AM

no...its a rice burner.

that would make sense...since theres no fine written on the ticket

6/10/2008 10:50:15 AM

is there usually a fine written? i can't remember, it's been a while since i looked at one after i got it.. mom works for a lawyer

6/10/2008 10:51:41 AM

well the last time I got a ticket (like 8 years ago) it was written on it.....and so was the one before that...both in NC


he gave me some bullshit about how its nc law that its not on the ticket and whatnot....I was like OK DURRR see ya

I was under the impression if they didn't write in a fine amount it was just going to be a warning.

Though I don't know, they'll do anything to trick your ass these days (they being everybody who believes they can get money from you).

6/10/2008 10:58:28 AM

when he came up to the window I was thinking about saying: "well gettin fired at the end of the month?" but instead I said "what seems to be the officer problem?"

now thats funny...where did you hear such mess?

6/10/2008 11:23:59 AM

I like what I said better haha

6/10/2008 11:25:35 AM

Some cops are just bored. My best friend got a ticket for going "48 in a 45"...down Weston Parkway. NO construction, no school zones, just cruising. She had to show up on her court date and have it dropped by the DA.

And pay court costs.

6/10/2008 1:42:50 PM

Not when the ticket is dropped.

6/10/2008 1:44:54 PM

you only pay court costs when you're convicted homie

There is such thing as Ku band, popular in Europe, but it's pretty rare in the U.S., if it's used at all.

Ugh, I do all I can to avoid cops. I look in the rearview a lot, and if I see one getting close I pull into a business parking lot if there is one around, or a side street. But only if he's not right behind me, or I could risk getting followed. There was a deputy in Ellerbe doing all he could to spook a driver behind me, so I pulled into a rest stop until he was far up the road. I fuckin' hate cops.
