CHP question

[Uhhlexxxis]

the DUI drivers don't slow when they see your patrol car blacked out... in fact, they never saw you. FISH in a barrel. that's all it ever is. Rear radar, then front radar... kill confirmed.

Yep. That is the definition of a speed trap, but look at Fleming v Sup Ct and how it impacts trying to admit evidence of speeding if the officer is not in the open.

Checked it out. Doesn't seem to affect it. I even found case law mentioning it where someone was arrested for DUI where the PC was speeding and they were a deputy in an unmarked car.

But the best radar detector won't keep you safe from instant-on, which is how I wrote four separate speeders radar tickets last weekend who all had radar detectors.

Press hard, four copies, watch traffic as you merge back in

x2. The best radar detectors also won't keep you safe from visual estimations/lidar/pacing.

Guys all of the radar, lidar, ect. posts are OT. The OP didn't ask about any of that, so please stay on topic.
