Yes, it was a copy and paste job, did take a while though mind you. I did it to save people time and the problem of asking.

Should be a sticky IMO to.

I really do hate anything to do with the government finding new/more ways to take our hard earned cash from us.

I hate coppers, i hate them with an undying passion. Always thinking they're better than everyone else.

If you're a copper reading this
GO JUMP OFF A FUCKING HIGH BRIDGE

good to no the good old popular cam runs out of film in hours :Homme: fail tbh
as for the laser diffuser i have google'd and they flag your car if they can not get a reading then seize it and search it for a jammer then remove it, while trying to do you for Perverting the Course of Justice
Although there is no individual law against the jammers them selves

I dout you would say such a comment if someone broke into your house and held you all hostige but then the police arrive and actually free you all unharmed? then what would you say about coppers? im sure you would say thank you to them!

or if you was caught speeding and a copper pulled you over and only gave you a warning? im sure you would be driving off chuffed you did not get any points ora fine and would be thanking the copper he was in a good mood when he pulled you?

think before you engage the brain mate

1 in 4 gatsos actually have all the equipment necessary to catch somebody speeding at anyone time. Although the cameras and radar sensors get moved about so the "dummy" cameras are not in the same places all the time.

They also can't prosecute you when driving towards one. And they know the difference. When a gatso is out of film it will go off constantly to act as a deterrent. If you speed towards a gatso with no film it will go off. If you speed towards a gatso with film it will not go off because it is a waste of it's film

but surely they cop would be like wtf this car is not moving

all im saying is you can activate/de-activate it whilst in the car so in other words a buzzer goes off tells you you are been tracked you then slow down (turn off the diffuser) and carry on your merry way.

the loop hole of this unit is. it also works as an electric garage door opener as they work on the same freqencies. if you dont have an electric garage then tbh id keep well away as you have no excuse to have one installed lol.

also if you intend to buy one and have it constantly turned on then the driver in question is an idiot.

its a very grey area as they are legal but are illegal! if the police pull you over and they can clearly see the sensors on the front of your car then they can tell you to remove it and issue you with a caution, but thats about it so the idea is to properly hide the unit away so if you was pulled the only way the police can see it is if they litrally go under your bonnet

.

I've been reading up on these units for a while ut it seems alot do break after a while!

tom130691 · 16th January 2010, 23:58

never been flashed anyways i speed at them a fair bit tbh

Only been pulled once and that was for "speeding"

It was a traffic cop so I know he knew that I really wasn't speeding. Just wasn't happy I overtook him on the sliproad.

He came across initially as a right twat. But realising I wasn't the typical Chavvy Saxo owner and that my car was 100% legal, he had a bit of a laugh with me.

Still gave me a producer though! Bastard!

I was told a country can only turn on 1/4 (25%) of its camera's otherwise if there all on, its seen as making money.. This is the law too.

Its illegal for them to be facing you and flash? I've seen this many times, even this evening though a local village

If they cant proscute you if their facing forward, then whats the point in them facing you, and drawing lines and adding pizzo strips in the floor?

When you say speed towards it? you on about at 35MPH? then a few metres before the white line, slam your breaks on and go through it at 30MPH?

I was flashed from behind a few weeks back. It was only ONE flash instead of 2 quick flashes.

Upon reading some forums, one flash means you wasn't speeding (i was doing 31mph), but the camera has a error, or needs calibrating??

funny you mention that I was driving today and hada thought I wonder ifa copper was in a 60 zone driving 40 you over took them they then pulled you over. what would they actually be able to do lols. as you would not be speeding as you would be upto 60mph by the time you had over took them and it would not be dangerous driving if the manouver was done on a clear strip of road!

im sure they would just pull us over just for the simple reason they had been over taken and did not like it lols.

Aparently i've under took at police car in a 30MPH road, that has 3 lanes, left, right or straigh on. I chose to go left, but though i'll go otherway home.

under took him dead on 30MPH. Wasn't happy and right up my arse all the way home. Pulled me over on a bridge (TW@) then called for abouther 2 cars for 'back up'?

I dont have a problem with the police at all. I know i dont cause a problem on the roads, and whats more, i dont go looking for trouble so they dont bother me.

I have respect for the police tbh, one thing that annoys me is i get told off for parking down the high-street but a taxi can park down the high-street while he pops into the shop

If its safe, why not?

Like police on the motorway doing 60MPH, everyone else sits behind it and dose 60MPH.. The limit is 70MPH, so do it.
