Stupid fix it tickets! need help!

[osidesurfer365]

Any one have any recommendations on radar detectors, all cops here use laser so I need something solid

I have had two Valentine One's and loved them. It was hard wired in my last car and the buyer paid extra for me to leave it in.

I am leaning towards getting a PASSPORT 9500ci with ****** live but would rather put the funds to suspension and performance right now. If stocks do well over the next month I may splurge and not tell the wife.

Is there any white background tail lights?? for a 02 yukon xl
Like these ive looked with no luck

 

[osidesurfer365]

@DWebPro I've been looking at the ****** Passport x70 and hard wire it to the power behind the rear view mirror

 

[DWebPro]

@osidesurfer365 have you thought about 9500?

My goal is something like this with the display module.

If I was younger with no family, I'd go with the k40 Laser Defuser

 

[osidesurfer365]

Is that custom made or an aftermarket mirror? I totally want that but I don't want to loose the Onstar controls

I just looked that model up, $2k is a bit much seeing I'm driving a Yukon, if I was driving a GTR than for sure.

1- Don't blame the police for your illegal parts
2- Fix it tickets IS NOT cash generating tickets
3- The US DOT allows a very small amount of tint to be applied to the taillights. Have anyone seen a Ford Explorer Sport taillights? Yea..... thats the darkest they can legally be.
4- If the police in your area is pulling you over for your illegally tinted taillights then I would go for a taillight that has a black background vs tint since it gives off almost the same look
5- For the person that is looking for a radar detector to ward off a police laser...... there is no radar detector on the market that can prevent a warning early enough for you to slow down. Once the detector goes off, its already too late. You need a laser "shifter/blocker" to take care of laser guns. I suggest going over to ****** Radar for those needs.

There is a guy on instagram that does custom head lights and tail lights like that, gold standard lighting. Check him out

 

[DWebPro]

@osidesurfer365 custom made.

I get your point of dropping that much on a detector, hence the reason I am still torn on making the purchase of that one.

Might I suggest the Waze app? Better than a radar detector in my book. At least for highway/urban areas.

The problem with waze is you need phone service to use it. On my drive from So Cal to Nor Cal(Mammoth, Yosemite), there were times where I had no cell phone service. I felt like I was driving blind without waze reporting things to me.

Yes, that is true. I'm lucky enough to not have a coverage gap anywhere that I might be speeding.

 

[osidesurfer365]

I have Waze and I must say it does work really well, the two times I was pulled over I slowed down before I was within eye sight and still got pulled over for the mods. Oh well can't win all the time

the lights in the grill?

 

[osidesurfer365]

@Knightrider03m I take it from your response you are a police officer? No need to take things personally, I'm venting and not directing anything directly at you, and yes in California we still get charged $25 court fee even for fix it tickets

@DWebPro no not so much the light bar, no front license plate, the aftermarket one I have does not have holes and I'm not about to drill into it, illegal tint on from two windows and smoked taillights

 

[bigrhino]

I was thinking about tinting my tail lights but changed my mind after being stopped numerous time by the police for my windows being to dark even though you could see inside my truck.
But I also got educated by the shop who did my tints.
He told me to take off the vent shades and go with a lighter tint. Now no more problems.
He also said since my interior is black it gives the tint a darker look than what it really is.

CHP will sign off fix it tickets no charge at the substations. The court, city or county will usually charge you to sign off the violations. That leaves you stuck with the fee the court charges when u mail in the fix it ticket.

Any cop can sign off a ticket without charge.

True, we’re just referring to walking into abc court here in SoCal. In ‘00 Orange Co Marshal merged with OC Sheriff. To increase revenue, more fix it type citations are issued w/ a fee. The sheriff could not justify the additional manpower for all the increasing cite sign off’s. Now, you pay (at our courts) for the fix it cite sign off and the nuisance fee of the fix it ticket.

The educated peeps have a local city cop, sheriff or chp sign off the cite for free b4 going to court to resolve it or mail it in. Just stopping by our local courthouse gets you a double fee.
