Official "sightings" thread

After cruising back from the Glen at an average speed of 90 (and sometimes a bit faster), and passing a few troopers (luckily at slower speeds) I thought a device with law enforcement sniffing capabilities might be in order. As far as the truck, maxed out at about 17mpg on the thruway to Ohio last summer. 12-13 city. Not the greatest but it’ll pull Thor’s hammer out of his ass. Gas station owners smile when they see me pulling in. Thanks for the Escort. Hopefully it’ll earn it’s keep.

Just a word of advice, a radar detector shouldn’t be used as an excuse to speed, but instead an aid. Laser and instant-on will get you. I have a friend who was going 125 in a 4.8 bmw x5 with the top of the line escort radar detector and he got lasered. As far as i know these detect laser, but by the time they do, you are already targeted, the only way around this is to get a jammer, and these are expensive…i’ve been looking for a while. Once i get a new car i might just get a built in system

I got hit by laser a while back, I was doing 100 in a 55-65, don’t remember exactly. It was heavyish traffic but nobody in the left lane. I got away with my passport 8500, how I have no idea. Another time I was doing 79 in a 55 and he got me with laser. Can’t win em all but you can get away from laser if you are lucky I guess. My radar detector has saved my ass a bit tho ,but than again, I speed more with it.

I certainly understand they are not a “cloak of invincibility” but it would be nice to have some advantage vs. none at all. I don’t really speed on a regular basis, if at all. Just once in a while you need to open it up. I guess I’m waiting for the day I get caught speeding and the officer won’t be saying “license and registration” but instead “driver…show me your hands, NOW!”

Just wanna let you guys in on something new the troopers are doing (my cousin is one this is from him)

They recently bought a bunch of police auction seized vehicles and retro fitted them for trooper use, the main goal is to stop cell phone use / texting. However they are equipped with the standard speeder detector bullshit

When driving they will not be using radar so they avoid setting off some of the detectors.

From what i was told, they have a white ford focus with a big dent in the side of it, a teal beat up ford Taurus and some SUV. they are completely unmarked and look like piles of shit.

Thought I heard something about this.

If true, you might catch me on camera for a police pursuit. Mean while, I’ll be getting a ticket for my cell phone while I call the 5-0 to see if it’s one of their own. Last thing I need is some ass hat driving around acting like a cop. Sorry but to many crazed people out there and I’m supposed to pull over for a fully unmarked beat up pile of shit. lol

The whole driving with a cell phone thing is the kind of law i very rarely see people obeying. I use bluetooth since i used to be on the phone a lot, but the amount of people i see on their phones while driving is obnoxious. I don’t mind it if the person is a good driver, but when you have shitty drivers talking on their phones while driving, it pisses me off. To be honest, half the people on the road shouldn’t have a license.

I highly doubt they will pull you over in their unmarked car. West Seneca does something similar to this in front my dealership on Southwestern Blvd. They have an unmarked trailblazer that sits on the opposite side of the road and shoots radar at oncoming cars. 50’ past the unmarked car is 3-5 cop cars who pull out after being notified of what cars are speeding and they then pull them over and issue tickets. I am sure that there will be cop cars in the area who will jump in and pull over these cars.

I figured it probably would have been the same way. Cop passes you, gets a plate/make/model/color and calls it ahead to a trooper.

Side not. someone know how to have nice things in Clarence. I see 1 of 2 cars almost every morning coming into to work parked in the Federals parking lot near Main and Harris Hill.

Either its one of these

Maserati

I absolutely hate that they do this. Also there is some fggt with an ex cop car that works at moes and sits there while we have a meet. He also sits at family video in w.s and follows us. he followed us from moes to mighty on s.western.
if youre on here, you’re a fucking loser get a life. If you want to be our friend then get out of your car and stop being a creep.

Was it a white impala with a pushbar? This fggt tried doing a fake pull over on me, and then another person. I called the cops and followed him till they caught up with him :smiley:

also saw this today: Their was an impatient girl right behind me… i was keeping pace with the cruze, 65 in a 55… The girl behind me passed him on the right hand side and he pulled her over, lol’d hard.

Retired cop cars creep me the hell out… There’s a few ppl on here who think they’re so full of win, but reliability aside, you look like a dirt bag driving one.

White slammed bmw on the side of the 90 on the way home from school today. Anyone?

Depending on the color of the Quattroporte, i most likely know the owner. As for the Aston Martin, it could be a doctor who lives near Fox Valley Country club. I’m friends with his kids, he has a nice collection of cars

Parked Next to me on the Turner Ramp downtown…had NYSPEED sticker in the window

to the cunt in the green piece of shit subaru wagon that was driving like a retard on the 290 @ 7pm, I wish that the GTI and the caravan you cut off would have run you off the goddamn road… you’re a fucking hazard to everyone when you drive like that… its one thing if you want to drive like a tard when nobody is around but when there is steady traffic on the 290, unwad your panties and fucking relax… you’ll get to your destination.
