first of all, my advice: "better get caught speeding and not with a radar detector"

well this says it pretty much all. driving to ontario on the 20 west my radar detector starts beeping at a ka band. an sq was on the gutter. trusting the vg2 and other features of my radar detector i passed by the sq without problem. after a good 5 kms in a quite busy highway, the ka starts beeping again, i look behind and i see between cars an sq. i quickly reach to my radar detector and unplugged, my gf tries to hide it somewhere while i'm getting pull over. i stop my car and the sq comes over and says "the radar detector, pull it out". me i try to fool him out and i say: "what radar detector? i got nothing here" he goes again: "the radar detector, pull it out or we'll search the car" all this in such a tone like if i were carrying a weapon of mass destruction in my car.
i said to myself, well what the f bye bye radar detector. then i was trying to avoid the ticket by saying: "listen, the devices belongs to the university, i'm in my last year of communication and i'm doing researches on radio bands for my final paper"
hmm what a joke, this work as good as the challenger shuttle.
to resume, i got a big fat ticket of $621 plus the confiscation of the rd.
plp of mr, give up the rd. i rather speed 2 or 3 times than getting a $621 ticket of one shot. what a bust.

haha, sorry don't mean too laugh, but the exact same thing happened to me :( same place as you aswell...
The only difference is I got away without the ticket :D
I didn't unplug it at all, i just placed it between the seat and my console. When the cop asked for it, i toldhim i didn't have one, he ask again just like you and i insisted that i didn't have one,he asked me to exit the car and my wife, ofcoarse he found the RD and asked what it was. I told him I have no idea, and that I had just picked the car up from my brothers house, he had borrowed me car to go to Toronto, the cop looked up my brothers name on his cop phone and sure enough my brother had been caught with a RD 2 months ago... (which i already knew about) ;)
The cop believed me and took the RD away, and sent me on my way :D

But since than, I don't even bother with the RD idea...
 
if the cop is really well hidden and you slow down like a mad man, an he knows that you cant see him, then he will know you have one...
cuz i heard that cops really cant detec your RD if your VG-2
 
Ouch, that hurts, I've been lucky on my trips to TO, never get caught going over the limit, sooner take chances...was gonna get an RD...but guess I'll just keep playing the odds...$621 sucks!
 
$621 sucks but it's better then gettign caught when you are really over the limit; plus with your tickect, there are no points so there is no extra penalty when you renew your permit and your insurance does not go up....one way to look at it...
 
ya
you dont want a ticket of 140 in a 50 zone now do you
:(
i owned my own damn ass
(although i will be contesting since there was no radar and it was "estimated" during rush hour in a VERY busy area)
 
but why people still keep on using radar detectors when they know its illegal for use and that cops can detect that you have a detector???

Sorry to hear about your ticket but it was bound to happen.
 
f*ck i feel like crying like a bitch. i could have done so much with those $621.

true that, demerit points are bad a$$, but $621 hurts.
 
What you need to do next time is to keep an envelope with a stamp and address written on it.
If you put the RD in the envelope and seal it it becomes an official postage and therefor a federal crime for the cop to open the envelope

Laws work on both sides
 
well i have 3 radar detectors but i travel alot in the US so as soon as i cross the boarder i plug it in plug it in :bigup:
 
I once met 2 guys from the States who came up from Pennsylvania for a LAN party and here's what happened when they crossed into Quebec:

- They got caught crossing a double line on the highway
- They had a radar detector
- Both guys weren't wearing seat belts

Oh yeah, I also had to translate the tickets cuz SQ gives 'em en français seulement...

Pwned on all accounts !!! Needless to say they deserved the railgun slapping I served them :D
