110mph past a cop, whoops

The cop was sitting at a light, it wasnt a speed trap. The cop cant get him for speed even he was estimating, you cant just pull numbers out of your ***. The only thing he could get him on was the red light even if he knows he was speeding, no radar = no speeding and you can ask to see it too.

You can't ask to see it in all states.. They recently passed a law in Wisconsin making it so the police do not have to show you the radar/laser reading.
WHY WOULD YOU PASS A LAW LIKE THAT?! It will ONLY benefit those who are dishonest on the police force.

Laser detector needs to hit you before it sets your detector off yes, but thats why you have laser jammers. They are illegal in most states and if the cop tries to get you and sees its not working he can get you for using a laser jammer most likely. Dont quote me on this, this is a guesstimate.

You guys can have your own opinions, I still think its the red light he got taken for and not the speed.

Yes, because it really didn't look like he was going that fast. Cops aren't exactly retarded and pretty much will be able to tell that you're not going speed limit... especially when you're exceeding the speed limit by at least 2x. CHP can use landmarks and time to actually guesstimate your speed close to within 5mph.

Thats not true. Thats not how radar detectors work, they capture the presence of the emissions you dont necessarily have to be hit with it just in the vicinity. If you are correct in what you say, then a radar detector is pretty much useless because it will only go off when it hits you.

Laser does not have to hit you, it has to be line of sight, yes, but that can include reflections and scatter.
