Ok, the beast had its first run-in with Johnny Law tonight. Got pinched by a local cop, he gave me a ticket, he did drop it down a notch to the lowest infraction category... he cut me a deal. At least he was a nice guy, knew what the car was, complimented it and had lots of questions about it. Strange chatting with officer friendly who's writing you a ticket, I guess he was just doing his job, I was dead to rights guilty. And I was actually kind of relieved, it could have been much worse if somebody clocked me 10 minutes earlier!
Anyway, I'm posting because I have a question: I had the Valentine One on, it has saved me before for sure. This time, it never made a peep. When he pulled me over and asked me if I knew how fast I was going, I said no (though I did know, but I've had better luck feigning ignorance in the past.) He quoted me exactly the speed I was going, and later explained that he had clocked me with radar... Again, the Valentine never chirped.
Lately, I've noticed some local cops hanging out in their favorite speed traps, no visible lidar gun or anything, yet the Valentine has not given any alert. Usually these guys just sit there with radar on, causing the Valentine to go nuts. Struck me as odd, strikes me as really odd now that I got pinched. Reasonably certain the Valentine is functioning correctly.
So I'm wondering, is there some new variation of radar that the Valentine can't detect? Anyone?
