just a heads up they are sitting on top of overpasses trying out a new long range gun catching speeders going under the overpass, heard the rumor called bs but looked for it and that looks like what they are doing.

I saw them doing that in Edmonton a few years ago, but it was the real deal, not photo. Personally, I don't mind photo if it reduces the number of real (demerit taking) radar traps. That way, I get to speed, and get to feel good about myself for helping to keep taxes down with all the fines I pay. :)

Friggin' speeders driving fast to wait in a line somewhere.....

*sigh* how are people comfortable with the police state we live in? Not that i'm looking for my tinfoil hat or anything but this is ridiculous. From the time they first introduced speed limits to now, soon people wont be driving cars anymore and it'll be all computers, so people are *safe*. Keep you healthy and paying taxes is the governments modo.

For a detector I run the Beltronics STi Magnum. A bit pricey but is supposed to be the best on the market. Is undetectable as well. Which you Albertanites require. :smiley cop:
I was always sceptical about whether or not they actually worked until I bought one a few weeks back and have busted the fuzz 3 times since.

What one works the best.........

problem is cops did their own study and they found... guess what...writing speeding tickets doesnt reduce speed... photo radar is nothing more then a gov't tax grab...maybe i fall into that stat... i pay one photo radar ticket per year on average... just can't help the 11-15 k over thing...look at the revenue gov't makes off it... its not there to slow you down!

I beg to differ....the BEST on the market is the Escort Passport 9500ix - approx. $700 in Canada....includes a data base of cities in NA with red light and speed camera's based on gps. You can mark a location of speed traps and it will warn you next time you drive in that location and you can also synch with their website which will in turn inform all other users who have the same system.

But even the best detector does not prevent you from getting a ticket........

Also protects high angles
How do photo-radar and photo-laser work?
Special camera and computer technology combine to photograph your vehicle as you drive by, and record your speed. A ticket is then issued and mailed to you. Radar and laser detectors are ineffective due to the narrow beam width and angle across the road. Even if you do detect the beam, its too late. You're caught!
How does the "Overhead PROTECTOR" work?
Photo-radar and photo-laser operate at known angles to the direction of traffic flow. Using a passive, state-of-the-art light-bending lens, the camera is unable to see the plate numbers, and identify your vehicle. The license plate is still completely readable from straight on.
