It is amazing to me that all the countries of Europe, Japan, and many others are going broadband at such a pace. Yet here in the states, it is still the rarity to see. I think this lack is a good indicator that our laws and the protectism it supplies simply isn't working.
Since I saw a joke here I will assume it is allowed.
A farmer was stopped by a cop for speeding. While getting the ticket the cop kept swinging a flies. The farmer said "Those are circle flies."
The cop asks, "What are circle flies?" The farmer answered they are always circling around the tail end of a horse. The cop then asked, "Did you call me an a$$hole?" The farmer said, "No but you just can't fool them flies."
I had an interesting happenstance once. I was in the military, taking a fellow soldier to his boy scout troop for their weekly meeting. I came upon a 4 way stop with 5 cars stopped ahead of me. I stopped also. Some nut went by us all, ran the stop sign and sped on. Guess who got the ticket for speeding?
The MPs were on a hill, a 1/4 mile away taking those radar shots from the side. None of this works as such nor is it accurate. I got the book throwed at me by the commander who was convinced I needed to be made an example. Eye witness or no, nothing was allowed in my defense. Fortunately for me, the first sargent talked the the eye witness. I was put on special duty somewhere out of sight for two weeks. When I came back, the commander had been transferred, my fines, reduction of rank, and all paperwork was mysteriously lost.
To this day I have no faith in radar, as it is up to the officer as to just how honest radar is.
