Last weekend I was driving through Norwalk on RT 20 going home... I had my Valetine one in my window. IT NEVER WENT OFF. Not even 'it being too late'. So I was wondering, is it even possible for the officer to clock me with radar and the detector never even picking it up? It seems physically impossible for him to get a reading off my car without the V1 picking something up.
In order for him to clock me, he would have to bounce his radar off my car, and have it record my speed. Even if too late, my valentine one would have to pick it up.
This is the first ticket I've gotten with my valentine one in my car at the time. The other times I was stupid not to bring it with me.
He 'clocked' me at 80 in a 55. Anyone who says it was unsafe, dont even bother posting. It was late and no one was on the road.
PERSONALLY, I think I got ripped off. I think he never even shot his gun at me and just guessed my speed. Even if the V1 picked it up when it was too late, it would have at least beeped like crazy. but nothing went off.
I would just pay the ticket.. but I can barely afford insurance on this car as it is... please help
