Interesting. I've never heard of that one.
Atlanta seems to be the hotbed for laser manufacturing. Dragoneye is made there as well.

Let's not second guess the officer's "motives"....he's doing his job...which is NOT easy.
Denver Taco admits his luck "may be running out". Let's face it...we didn't buy our cars to drive like gramps...we like to punch it on occasion. I myself like to punch it on roundabouts. Den Taco was in a roundabout. We have a gazillion here and it's the primary reason my rims have rash. |

Don't get me wrong I don't like being pulled over for nothing either and it has happened to me before. In addition it's just part of the game. Don't hate the player. LEO's do these fishing experiments all the time in all types of circumstances.

But the last time I was stopped it was for a "license check". It happened to be on St Patty's day with bars in between the two "license checkpoints".

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...ford/82512892/ https://www.innocenceproject.org/pre...-police-lying/ Including traffic stops if they suspect wrongdoing or suspect ‘anything’... So, technically they can stop you on a ‘gut’ feeling. Just know your 4th, 5th, and 6th amendment rights and be courteous, respectful, and honest as YOU cannot lie to the police. A VAST majority of officers are truly honest and great people (I know many) but the ones who are not give the impression (at least by the press) all are this way... If you have proof (like the PDR or camera), you can do what the op did. It’s getting to the point where ‘we’ need cameras and body cams now... shame... -Don

That's the lie that I'd go to court about and then show proof that this specific cop is a lying d-bag. And it's much easier for the officer to just say "You were weaving" than come up with BS detection and speed..

You most certainly can lie to the police. FBI, not so much. I guess if you are obstructing justice then no, or filing a false report, no. but If cop asks me where i'm coming from or going to...i can lie.

IMO, he baited you in by slowing down so much that short of just pulling over, you had to go around him.Then he executed the traffic stop.
If you are game for it, you call up the local troop commander/head honcho of this guy's district and tell him you have a video you want him to look at. If he has no time/interest in seeing you, then you know the score. If he does watch the video with you, do not expect him to take your side. Best possible outcome is he has a word with the guy who pulled you over and says something to the effect of "Hey bonehead, a lot of cars have cameras in them now and show telemetry, make a note of this and I do NOT want to have to sit down with John Q. Public and watch any more of these." If you aren't comfortable going into the Dragon's Den (you should be comfortable going in, the supervisor's job is to be aware of exactly this sort of stuff), then do what you can to spread the video locally. Eventually it's gong to be seen by someone who is likely to have some words of prayer with this eager agent of the state. < --- Former city PD, 18 months of STEP enforcement. |
