I too use the 'grazing' technique that Greenwald speaks of. Radar detectors are traffic cops best friend. We put out a wide indescriminate radar beam, and every throttle jockey for miles around with a detector is going the speed limit!
In a nutshell, that's the plan!
Only problem is - most of the people who we coaxed into safely slowing down spend time around the supper table or bar that night convinced they 'out-smarted' the cops and telling all their friends to go out a get a radar detector ASAP.
Gives new life to the myth. I really should buy stock in those companies.

Some of the same companies that sell the speed guns sell the detectors. It's like the phone company that sells caller ID and caller ID block.

Now that's just not right.

Between the ticket cost and the bumps in insurance, just 1.

I'll get one of these
My son was an avionics tech on one of the Stennis's birds...I think it will jam a signal!
That baby looks like it could jam a Quasar!

Heh... I remember a time I saw that technique used by the CHP. That was when I was still using radar detectors and had V1 lite up telling me I had a bunch of Ka band signals coming my way. Yep. It was a convoy of one truck holding the largest oversized piece of gear I've ever seen on a road escorted by enough CHP to block front, rear, both sides of intersections, and leapfrog each other in doing so. It was oh so obvious that they were using their radar as a pay attention to us signal. And I appreciated the warning!

That technique worked for me for many years as a traffic officer. If I had time to chase, it was instant-on. If I didn't, I used the 'grazer' method and slowed 'em down. And I have to say, I wrote an awful lot of tickets to people with either radar detectors beeping on their dash, or with "power cords to nowhere" that obviously had a radar detector connected to them until the red-and-blues came on.
