First speeding ticket

I was on my way to school, late with 2 other freinds in the car. I was late, so i was going 45 on a 35, i saw the squad car in the oppoiste traffic lane, going towards me, and then in my rear view turn around, and then follow me and flag me down. I had a feeling that he didint get my speed, since he was moving, but he supposably had a new "laser" radar gun... Ended up with a speeding ticket, and the police was a duche.

Now im looking for a radar detector and or a jammer. Any good ones out there, cheap?

rooz is also the official "got pulled over and didnt get a ticket x 3" guy too (not to jinx you or anything rooz)

i wouldnt get a jammer personally, if a cop sees you flying by and his radar reads 30mph hes gonna be pissed also, if a cop has a certain type of radar gun(ive heard this from an expert im not BSing) he can detect where the 30mph signal is coming from and have you SCREWED over for having a jammer

10 miles over is not usually a ticket? Thats like 16kmh over. Here in Edmonton, Ive heard of people getting tickets for 12-13kmh over. Thats a pretty sweet deal you guys have down there.

i've gotten tickets for 88 in a 70, 53 in a 40 and got off TWICE for 52 in a 40!!

oh, and the time that i was doing 88 in a 70, i was following too close too, but he let it go. i'm just really happy that he didn't catch me 30 seconds before i was following to closely... i was going 115.
