Beware Chp

Well my parents were pulled over yesterday by the CHP. The Officer told them that they have a new type of radar. It's not a gun, its a new system that automatically pin point anybody who is speeding.

Does anyone know what this is called?

i actually already got pulled over by one of those, too. the cop didn't give me a ticket tho, i think he was just playing with the gun, because he seemed so proud of himself.

also, beware, my friend got pulled over in his acura tl for his front window tint. the cops said they're cracking down on that now because of the new cell phone law... they want to see if you're using it.

This is good news in my opinion... so sick of street racers flying by on the freeway... I rarely drive over 75/80, and that's just to keep up with the flow of traffic. if someone on the road is going much faster than the flow of traffic, then I can see where this would be useful.

They have both of those inventions BTW, Radar jammers have been around for years and are illegal in CA, and Electrochromatic window shading technology has also been around for a few years. Check those out homies.

you could also just roll down the windows when you're near cops if you're afraid of getting ticketed. i don't think i've ever heard of that electrochromatic tint, but it sounds pretty cool.

Tint laws aren't just in CA, they're around the country. It's for officer safety that your tint isn't too dark. Easy to shoot an officer with your limo tinted windows rolled all the way up and he'd never know.

That's why you speed when everyone else is also. Cop can't pull everyone over at once. You're a sitting duck if you speed alone, but if you speed near other people, you just reduce your chances of getting ticketed.
