- Yes, they really work, though they are not 100% guarantee youwont
- get a ticket for speeding.
-
- BUT, despite all the new technology, the easiest thing for a
- law enforcement officer whose duty it is to ticket speeders, is
- to set his X or K band radar unit up, set it to a certain trigger
- speed, aim it down the road, and get to some paperwork (or donuts :) >
- until it goes off telling him someone is going greater than X MPH.
-
- Besides, a lot of cities/towns/counties/states can't afford all
- the new technology.
-
- Cincinnati Microwave's high end stuff (SOlo, Escort, Passport) is
- very good. They now have a low end which I haven't tried.
- Whistler's been at it for quite a while too and there's a Uniden
- that gets good reviews.

- Paul in NJ, no longer home of photo radar on I-80 and I-280.
