Message-ID: <19916@netnews.upenn.edu> Date: 3 Feb 90 05:16:36 GMT Sender: news@netnews.upenn.edu Reply-To: jliu@eniac.seas.upenn.edu.UUCP (Dear John.) Distribution: sci.electronics Organization: University of Pennsylvania Lines: 18 Having a radar detector can sometimes GIVE you a ticket. I was driving along I-80 in Pennsylvania when a cop pulled me over. I was doing 70 at the time in a 55 mph zone. Apparently, he had timed me visually, so my radar detector did not pick him up. He was all ready to give me a warning, when he bent over and saw my radar detector. Poof!! I called me a speeder, and I my bank account decreased by $122.50. The sad thing was, I really was not intentionally speeding. The moral of the story is: unless you are willing to accept the consequences of owning a radar detector, don't get one! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- John.
