the story is kind of funny. i updated the chip in my new car and had a gauge to monitor the boost from the turbo. when i got pulled over, it was still sitting on the dash.
the cop says "oh, you have a turbo .. did you install that thing yourself? would you mind popping the hood?"
i gestured toward the hood after popping it, and he said "no, it's your baby, go ahead"
i assured him it's all stock and i just updated the chip and was monitoring my boost. lol, i was caught red handed.
after giving me the ticket he asks "do you have any questions? do you want to see the radar?"
i said "actually, yeah, i've never seen a radar before."
after showing me the speed on the radar ( 65 in a 45 ) , he handed it to me and showed me how to use it. he told me to point it into oncomming traffic and let me clock a couple cars.
i then asked him what the difference was between the radar and laser guns, .. he said he didn't like laser guns because you have to aim through a site and it hurts his back on the motorcycle.
i told him how mythbusters tested out all the ways to trick radars, and they didn't work .. we ended up talking for about 10 minutes before i left.
it's funny to drive away from a speeding ticket with a smile on your face. lol .. if i had a radar detector, that would not have happened.
i'll consider it an expensive lesson on how to use a radar gun.
