For more flames on this issue, see >rec.radio.amateur.misc. I remind you that my post said nothing about breaking any laws. We who want to post to Usenet for legitimate purposes have no end of trouble because of those who want to jump all over us because they ASSUMED we were talking about something we weren't. ;-) >Yes, I know that 55 (even 65 under most circumstances) is a stupid >speed limit. Agreed. As the report published in C&D noted, many speed limits are set artificially low. For more flames on this topic, see rec.auto.driving. ;-) ;-) ;-) To those of you reading along, let me reiterate that I do not condone the use of police band receivers in the commission of any crime, which as is pointed out above an illegal act. The discussion was merely academic.
