Honestly officer, the radar influenced my speedometer, I didn't knew that I drove faster then the speedlimit

The Agency I worked for here in Nevada used the Speedgun 8 and the MPH speed guns.
Very accurate , Also I hated writing tickets just so you know.

@snake, I know you hated it ...

I truly understand the cause of it, because nearly everything we use, like cars do just work with processors, or so called CPUs. And that RF signals as radar signals influence the operation of CPUs is a matter of fact. The regulators in all country of the earth try to minimize those interferences. However military, police, and some aircraft equipment are allways behind schedule to follow those regulations, and exceptions are normal here.

But intresting that someone did report on it....

Kind regards,

If I was a copper, I would constantly write tickets. And if they looked sad or insulted when I gave them one or two, I would have a good laugh about it at home

Well, it's all good at first, cause you think your making a differance, that everytime you write some one a ticket, or take them to jail things will be better.
I did it for 23 years, and when my family life was screwed up because of my job then thats when I realised it.
Also I did not enjoy spending my days off in court, which made it really difficult to plan anything family wise.
Yeah when your young and dumb writing tickets and spending your leisure time in court seems a fair trade off, but then you get tired of it.
Not to mention death threats, having to carry a gun with you every where you go, not for your protection, but to protect your family from one of the idiots you arrested, or wrote a ticket too.
I once had my family with me in the grocery store in Reno, this guy walks up to me and spits on me and starts calling me every name in the book, I had my wife and two daughters there and all they saw was a crazy man yelling at their dad, well we just left everything sitting there and we walked out.
I found out later that I had written this guy a ticket for left side parking about 9 months earlyer ; Nine months earlyer .
All this over a silly parking ticket, so yeah I can see where it would be fun for some, me, I live alone now Lost my family cause of my job, and I have PTSD because of the things I've seen.
So yeah A few laughs at home would be good.
