dave_s Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 <p>Seems appropriate it has a speedfinder attached.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 <p>Don't fry your whatevers with it. I have read that many police officers got testicular cancer from sticking the radar gun down between their legs when they weren't using it.</p> <p>Doesn't look like much of a danger with this one though.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igord Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 <p>In few countries it would run out of film in around 5 minutes ;))))</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_szwed Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 <p>Needs a 250 shot film back in places like that.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_szwed Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 <p>I'm guessing it imprints the speed directly on the image, like the databack imprints a date? Have you seen any of the images taken? Firsthand maybe? :)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w_t1 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 <p>Interesting stuff, so did the police officer pull the speeding car over, or did they mail them a copy of the pic with the ticket? I guess this is the precurso to the camera radars we have now at some intersections in Seattle, snaps your pic and flashes if at night...any LEO here can weigh in?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
