No detector, then a warning is possible.

Although an officer's bias may be true, in my case I have both my daily drivers set-up with custom installed radar detectors and laser jammers (both front and rear). They each also have Spectre immunity, audible alarm as to type of system my car is being hit with (each type has distinct tone), and I have on off toggle switch. No dash or visor mounting for my vehicles.

It has nothing to do with being chronic speeder as much as it is overzealous enforcement. I more than equalize the score.

They ONLY way I would get a ticket is if I was the only car on the road.

If a police radar system goes off either in front or behind me on the road, my system can pick it up from several thousand feet (or more) away with ease. When the hit the cars in front of me with lidar (laser), they've given themselves away.

Not sure how effective the laser detector will be on the water as boats are spaced very far apart. I won't be on Winni this year (different lake not far from it though) otherwise I would use my old visor mount unit to see how often they're clocking boats.

That is GOOD news to hear. You don't seem to want to enjoy Lake Winnipesaukee anyway.

If you don't like the way the lake was when you move here, don't change it. Move on. Instead you want to change it the way you like it. Sorry, I'm not leaving. I will continue to do what I have been doing since birth. Enjoy the lake as I see fit. Welcome to NH, now go home!

I'm glad to hear that you are not leaving so that you can enjoy some of the changes that I plan on making.

Change itself is a process, so is the gradual movement toward accepting it. Make the best of changes you can't prevent, rather than wasting your energy fighting them.

Thanks,
Rusty

BH, he's on my ignore list so I didn't read what he posted (or care). His comments are general babble not worth reading. Just put him on ignore list.

However, when I didn't renew my multiple weekend rentals this year, the person who I rented from for several years called to see if it was an oversight

Being called their "best customer" must mean my family does something right. But of course all us people who would dare run a bowrider at 46 MPH or anchor at a sandbar are scofflaws, right?

Sorry to hear that I am on your ignore list. You are not on mine because I enjoy reading some of things you say. It appears that you are an intelligent person and have knowledge on various subjects.
If someday you decide to come back to this beautiful Lake I will make sure that you don't get a speeding ticket if you go 46 MPH, however if you go 47 MPH it might be more difficult for me to talk the MP out of it.

Have fun on your vacation wherever it might be.

Rusty's rambling makes my day. I don't know who is worst, FLL or Rusty.

I just got back from two weeks on the Florida coastal. I was actually in APS backyard. Remember him? He called Winnipesaukee the 'Wild West'. If that is the case, I have no clue what to call the intercoastal? The combat zone? I see many skippers ignore idle speed and manatee zone signs. I actually saw an oversized pontoon boat flood a small 18 foot aluninum outboard! I think the summer residents should spend their energies taking care of their own in their respective states. Let the NH natives take care of NH.

• I'm around, and was waiting for Ice-Out before "staging" my return to the "other" Paradise.

• Where—btw—my family has been before the turn of the previous century.


• NOAA radio noted "8-foot seas" earlier this week.

I'm continually amazed at the preponderance of outboard boats around these waters that would be considered "too-small" for Lake Winnipesaukee.

:confused:

What on earth did you say??

NOAA, 8-foot seas, too-small boats for Lake Winnipesaukee , confused... I'll say you're "confused", so aren't I.

Welcome to the world of APS. His posts are always a bit eccentric...

For claiming to not be a chronic speeder you have spent a lot of time and money, on equipment to elude detection. I have been traveling all over New England for work and pleasure for 15 years now, logging between 20K -30K miles yearly. There are very few overzealous cops out there. If so I am sure I would have had my fair share of tickets over the last 15 years.... instead I have no tickets to report... Have I been pulled over? yep certainly have, even have a few written warnings... But after some polite conversations, a quick running of my plates and license, I have always just driven away, every time.... The question is how fast over the speed limit are you going... For me when I have been pulled over I have been between 10 - 15 mph over the speed limit. I get a lecture, but the cops generally realistic about things.

Don't blame the cops, if your traveling over the speed limit there is no one to blame but yourself. If you are sufficiently over the speed limit enough to warrant a ticket, once again blame yourself... The cops, they aren't overzealous. Can they have a bad day? yes Can the decide to write you a ticket if you are rude and uncooperative? Yep, and its your fault.

Don't talk about spending endless amounts of money to avoid getting caught in a speed trap, and then try and justify it by the over zealous cops....

Wow you make a lot of ridiculus assumptions. My wife got a ticket for doing "33 in a 25" in Saco Maine (her one and only ticket). I got a ticket for doing less than 10 MPH over speed limit on Maine Turnpike. I had NH plates at the time.....

As for over zealous I have MANY examples. My boss got a ticket for 75 in a 65 on the Turnpike. A co-worker of mine got a ticket on the Maine turnpike for doing somewhere close to 70 MPH just after the limit dropped to 55MPH zone at 4:30 AM on way to airport.

As for the insinuation that anyone would be rude or whatever you want to spew, I'm not biting. Look up how many tickets are issued each year in NH and ME.

I see the NH and ME state police clocking cars as they approach toll booths from long distances. It's 750-1000 ft out where the speed limit drops from 65 MPH to 35MPH and they give tickets for it. That's over zealous.

The money I spent on detection equipment means I don't have to worry about getting stopped and wasting my time having a conversation.

Lastly, from what I read it sounds like you have way more experience getting pulled over than I ever have.....
