Default GT COP

I was in Charlotte earlier today. Saw a shiny Black unmarked GT. Blue lights were flashing in the grill and rear window, and had pulled over a tree trimming truck.

Yeah apparently the Maine State Troopers are starting to use these, too, although I have not seen one yet. I had a trusted source that fills me in from time to time

Thats cool. I loved the old Highway Patrol Mustangs. I heard they originally switched over from those Mustangs because they didnt have enough dash space for the new equipment. Is that true?

Maryland is sneaky. They have new Mustangs and GTOs.
When I was working in MD I'd see a new Black GT pulling someone over almost every morning.

They do have radar detectors that act as jammers as well. When the Cop hits you with the gun - depending on the detector you have - it will register crazy stuff like --- mph, 000 mph, 25 mph or even an extreme of 199 mph. Which everyone knows, including judges, our cars cannot do.

The problem is that they are using laser speed guns nowadays...all they need is an aiming point on your car and you are good as a speeding ticket.

yes...you are completely right....but YES....lasers can also be defeated.

This is just one site that offers a couple of those type systems. There are actually better systems out there....but this shows you what I am refering too.

Personally, I think our Mustangs should come with these things built in!!

LASERS: http://1-radar-laser-jammers-detecto...mers/index.php

RADARS: http://1-radar-laser-jammers-detecto...mers/index.php
