1st ticket in 24 years!

My investment in a radar detector has saved me three times this year alone. Well worth the investment, only if sound is piped in to the ear. Otherwise it's just like your blinker indicator going unattended until, whoops.

Radar detectors are great for radar but worthless against Laser. Laser is instant on/instant off and has a very small beam thus if your detector goes off it is just telling you that you were just busted. I have run tests and unless I was pointing directly at the detector it never made a peep. When I was in traffic I never gave a warning to a person if I saw they were running a detector. I figure it has given them plenty of warnings already. And contrary to popular belief it really is all about safety and nothing to do about revenue, at least from the officer's viewpoint. I spent 4 years on the fatal team, that will slow you down.
To the OP I also would talk to the court, with your record it will most likely be reduced.

I have a Escort 850 and when i am in traffic it lets me know Laser is being used,,, Now when I am the leader of the pack when its says beep I am the target
Its like the instant on radar, They pull the trigger and bam,,, But I keep my eyes open when I am speeding,,
I think the tickets in Texas are BIG money, but not as big as Calif,

My only question in all of this is: Do I plead guilty or not guilty on the form to send in? I was speeding, so technically I am guilty, but I don't want to leave it at that. I guess I'm answering my own question, because pleading not guilty is the only way to get a court date.
