I remember getting a chirp, slowing down and then watching someone get angry and fly right by me, only to be the one they pulled over instead of me.

If I was driving home from Newport News to Georgia I'd have to take the 58 across to I-95. That road is a cash cow for the local fuzz. That's the particular stretch of road that I liked to stick to the artificially low speed limit and leave the radar detector unplugged.
In fact in the last 2-1/2 months I spent in Virginia I never used my radar detector because they're illegal to use.

Otherwise I'd like to be able to agree with you - if you know what I mean
