New type of police radar guns?

[Jon R33]

Has anyone heard about a new type of radar gun in use by the Police here in WA?

The reason I'm asking is I just got my first speeding fine in 12 months . My BEL 980 radar detector didn't make a peep.

The cop car was pulling out of a side street to my left so I'm hoping the angle was just wrong and the detector just couldn't pickup the side-on radar.

Detectors wont pick up Laser guns which could be what he had. I hear u can get a laser jammer which counters that problem.

The BEL 980 does pick up laser aswell as radar, it won't jam it though, just detect it.

If that's your first in 12 months then you have done pretty well for youself, I might have to invest in a BEL aswell.

I had the 'line 3 days and thought "I am DEFINITELY going to lose my licence in this thing" so I forked out $700 and it has saved me countless times, until this morning.

Maybe you just got unlucky, or do you think that they managed to beat the detector?

I've almost convinced myself that it was just the angle that meant the detector didn't him pickup, if he'd been behind or infront it would have gone off.

Looks like I've found the weakness in the detector, it really needs to be a little dome thing on the roof that picks up 360 degrees around you plus above you aswell for those freeway overpasses.

Although it would probably look stupid.

my new XR400 picked up laser about 6-800m away on a straight road, gradenko can vouch, they pickup really well.

Thing is if its laser they actually have to have it on you, or a car near you for it to pick up, so if you're front of the pack then it will just go nuts when they gun you.

The laser is prolly just a really tight focused beam so unless it hits the detector dead on it wont detect it. Not like the old guns that had a super wide beam and just sprayed all over. Like u said he was off on an angle and not directly in front of u.

Go on then put a big ass detector on the roof and then get some neons to go with it, it will look phat!!!!

[GTS-t VSPEC]

A big satellite dish should do the trick.

Nothing is fool proof, and with the number of cops on the road it would almost be impossible not to get done. I seriously saw more then ten different set of traffic cops out today. Good time to commit a crime, no cops actually stopping that, there all out collecting money from us.

Ive got two of the best radar detectors on teh market and they sit to the right land left of my nose, they have saved me multiple times and i havent had a ticket in 3 1/2 years.

If u wanna speed go to the track or save that 3am in the morning. last thing u want is to lose ure lic and its that dam easy. Take it to the top of 3rd get clicked and its all over. :eek:

Yeh i know its a rant i just had to physically restrian my self from speeding this morning as i woke up at 8:30 and had to be at work by 9, god dam right laners

Look out RICE ppl

With the number of cops around I don't think your eyes will save you, just have to be more sensible. If I speed then I accept the consequence of the fine. I don't mind paying the money it's the points I can't afford to loose.

The cops are out in force at the moment, so I don't speed much, I leave it for the drags etc. It makes it very hard though when idiots in Commonwhores want to race, but I just shake my head and laugh, they wouldn't stand a chance anyway.

they should just get more police! i know i'll be voting for the next guy who promises them...

oh... and more maccas stores because they need somewhere to eat

one million dollars.

Valentine one. Front back and sides. Just can't use them on cars with bronze impreganted windscreens like Soarers.

the radar detectors that pick up laser are good, but if your the only car on the road you'll prob still get booked, cause once ur detector picks it up they already have the speed ur doing, they work well if driving in a bit of traffic, cause u get the reflections of the other cars and can make sure ya doin the spped limit.....

Yer drove throught that on the way to the Plex

1x camera near western mining

1x rader cnr Pattersen / Old Mandurah rd

1x Booze Bus at old Kwinana Bus Station

1x Roadworthy at the bus station

1x Camera before Ankertell road

1x camera Gilmore ave

1x radar Thomas Road

The Plex was surrounded

If they wernt targeting people going to the Plex it was just pure coincidence that itsa was whoop ass wednesday and most people who attend go from rocky / kwinana area

I dont mind blitz but if they want to encourge people to race at the plex then thats not the right way to go about it
