| My 3rd Mistake: I thought I was invisible |
| |
One bright, clear day I was driving down a remote freeway two counties from home, enjoying the empty highway and sunshine. I was miles from nowhere. There wasn't another car in sight.
Then there was one brief (less than one second) Ka audio signal from the jammer as a patrol car crested the hill about 1000 feet away. I made sure my speed was legal, well before we met.
But I was invisible, anyway. Right? Wrong. Mistake number three. $105 fine.
The eager officer skidded to a halt, almost hit the jersey barrier trying to make an abrupt U-turn and catch me. He wrote me at 13 over, meaning he had gotten a quick reading of my speed.
Radar Jammer Dealer Responds
I called the dealer and confronted them with this data. The girl who answered the phone listened impatiently to my questions and concerns. Then she explained that the officer hadn't gotten a reading, that he had lied about having me on radar. She said they always pick an odd speed, to make it seem more plausible.
Had the trooper just luckily guessed my speed, and lied about having radar proof and violated my rights? If so, maybe an attorney could find a flaw in the case and get me off the ticket. More on this in a moment... |
