In traffic court down here (other courts possible) when one's name is called and plea is given, say "open" and you will get face time with thw ADA and have a good chance of a reduction or out right dismisile. If you don't take the better $400 advice.

Once upon a time radar detectors were quite illegal in Michigan.  I got stopped for having one in plain view on the dashboard - and beat the ticket.  It seems there was a tiny loophole in the law - allowing peace officers, newsmen (with a permit for 'em) and ham radio operators -- to have "radio receivers capable of receiving police radio transmissions".  It took some talking by my expert witness (me), but eventually the judge ruled that I was okay with it - and threw out the ticket.  Boyoboy was that deputy sheriff grumpy -- 'specially when I drove away from the courthouse with a radar detector prominently displayed on the dashboard of the car -- where he saw it.

"To Serve and Protect"  do you think the Police really buy into there own motto ?

Maybe I am getting old and grumpy,,, but everytime I see a cop car parked with radar on (speed trap) it pisses me off.. that seems like intrapment.... I am sure theyhave more serving and protecting to do for us,,,

Hmmm  now I get it,,, to SERVE us tickets  to PROTECT there payroll budgets,,, Oh now it is clear.

I have a set of buttons on steering wheel that allow me to select a speed and the car or truck automatically holds that selected speed.  It's a way cool thing.  And I use it regularly.  Seems to be cheaper, too.
