CONFESSION: Yeah I'm a Trooper. Retire at the end of this year. I'm a speeder too. I have paid 27 speeding tickets in my life time. All of them were for less than 30 over. (My first three cars did not have a working speedometer.) All but one I deserved, but there were many more times I didn't get one that I should have so I'm ahead of the game, and I'm not complaining! Haven't paid any since I figured out I couldn't fight "them", and I "joined" them! (That was in 1983) Kind of worried about how things are going to go after retirement. I don't do anything dangerous, but I routinely find myself, on 4 lane divided highways with little or no traffic, looking down and finding myself cruising in the 90 -95 MPH range. It doesn't feel like I'm going that fast, but I am!!! I'm not in a hurry usually, just feels good to twist that throttle and scoot on down the road! After 30 years in LE I'd hate to go out and buy a detector or jammer, but I still make money with the CDL and I need to protect it, so a man has got to do what a man has to do! 
(I don't have any plans to purchase any ticket avoiding devices....but if a real good affordable one came on the market, and I can't correct my bad habits........?????

CDL is the biggest worry.Little careful in old age about keeping it.

The radar/lidar I have in my patrol unit is a BEE III system and it has a function called pop. Pop is a feature that allows me to send out one radar wave on an approaching vehicle. There is no technology out there to stop that function from working (short of a wet road and a good thunder storm) and by the time your detector has alerted you that I sent a signal out, I've already got your speed. This feature, makes a radar/lidar detector null and void. Stopped a guy once doing 82 in a 55, he had the phazer radar jammer, he was absolutely pissed that thing never even alerted him to me. Good news is, I'm NOT one of the unreasonable ones who just writes tickets to **** folks off, I enjoy my job and helping people. But sometimes ignorant people do ignorant stuff and they get stupid tickets for their ignorant actions.

I popped a guy once in drizzle (fuzzy) rain, reckless. In court his lawyer is asking all the usual questions about radar we are supposed to know (State of Connecticut v. Tomanelli (1966), Commonwealth of Kentucky v. Honeycutt (1966), State of New Jersey v Dantonio (1955), ad nauseum), then drop a question about radar being ineffective in rain. My reply was the FAA has been using radar for years to keep airplanes from running into each other in the rain. That got a great laugh from the courtroom, and a smirk from the judge. Guilty as charged!

I had brand new radar unit all set up on my bike. Then took it out for a test ride. Once on the freeway at about 70 mph the dam thing fell off the bike and splattered all over the highway. Not only was I out the $ 500 bucks for the unit the upside was I never had to worry about getting another one. I just drive a bit slower now. You are not going to beat the cops if they lock onto you. Slow down and save buck.

The question has been pretty much answered, now its time for jokes.
