almost every time i've gotten pulled over i've gotten a break. just be yourself and be straight up with them. you don't have to be overly polite. just talk to them like they're a regular person. cops can tell if your just being nice to them to avoid a ticket. i mean if you were a cop, and you pulled over a 20 year old with a mohawk and tatoos all over, and he was saying yes sir, and no sir. you'd know he was full of ****. cops deal with people all day every day. most of them are excellent judges of character. just act normal and be honest and your chances are good. if your good a making jokes make one. almost every time Ive made a cop laugh i got off with a warning. the only time i didn't might have been because i had my radar detector, or because i only got him to chuckle, but he reduced a 97 in a 60 court date. to a failure to obey traffic control device(like a stop sign ticket)
i don't ride with it often, but what has gotten me out of the most tickets is this passport 8500 x50. the only time i've been pulled over with it.(not on the sv) was because the cop was following behind me and didn't have his radar on. when he seen me go to pass some cars he turned it on and got me.
don't treat it like its gonna save you every time. it effectiveness is gonna depend on your local pd, here in Florida it works pretty good, and gives me more then enough time to slow down. i think i paid 300 from best buy. its paid for its self more times then I'd like to admit, but if you drive/ride like i did when i got my first fast car its a very good investment.
here's the mount i made. the radar is secured with Velcro.
