My dad got pulled over for speeding and all the cop said was &quot;Put the licensce plate on the front&quot;. : Most cops don't care. It's not that big of a deal to them.

Up here....in particular the Plano police department...they will pull you over and write you a ticket for nothing more than not having the front plate. A girl I work with had it happen to her. So...I guess it just depends on the department.

 

I just run between 5 and 10 over the limit on the freeway and interstates. I have found the CB quite helpful. I just listen for when the jabber increases, and you are usually near where there is a speed cop. Usually, I can't have it on when the kids are in the truck, too much swearing and talking about &quot;lot lizards&quot;. <br><br>I have friends and relatives in Law Enforcement, and they tell me that they hate radar detectors (of course). If they catch someone speeding and see that they have a radar detector, that person WILL get a ticket. However, if the person has no radar detector, is honest, and treats them with respect, they usually issue a warning.

I still stand by my original statement. Scanners, jammers AND radar detectors are illegal if (and that is the key word) anyone is using them to circumvent the law. <br>Tom
