Sorry - gotta disagree with this one. I don't really know about other states, but sneaky tactics in pulling people over and creative ticketing by local and state police is an ART FORM here in the great state of Louisiana. I've been pulled over and ticketed 3 times in the past two years for going less that five miles over the speed limit (this is not an exaggeration). I am by no means a speed demon and currently use a radar detector to dip well below the speed limit and avoid crooked cops (yes, they DO exist), particularly near the end of the month when they pull over almost everyone in a motor vehicle to reach their ticket quotas. I have absolutely no qualms about using a radar detector.
