A Win For Missouri To Allow Voters To Decide On Traffic Cams
The Missouri General Assembly has never been able to come to agreement
about whether red light cameras and speed cameras should be used in the
state. Bills put forward to advance photo enforcement have failed just
as often as legislation that would ban automated ticketing machines.
Last week, the state House of Representatives came up with what a large
majority, 109 to 37, saw as the perfect compromise. They voted to pass
the decision along to the people.
If the measure passes the state Senate and is signed into law by Governor Jay Nixon (D), a measure banning red light cameras and speed cameras would be placed on the August 2, 2016 statewide ballot. The proposed measure leaves open the use of cameras for automated license plate readers (ALPR or ANPR) and toll road cameras.
"No county, city, town, village, municipality, state agency, or other political subdivision of this state shall enact, adopt, or enforce any law, ordinance, regulation, order, or other provision that authorizes the use of an automated traffic enforcement system or systems to establish evidence that a motor vehicle or its operator is not in compliance with traffic signals, traffic speeds, or other traffic laws, ordinances, rules, or regulations on any public street, road or highway within this state, or to impose or collect any civil or criminal fine, fee, or penalty for any such noncompliance," the propose ballot language states.
Judging by the response in St. Charles County, a suburb of St. Louis, the cameras would not fare well in an electoral challenge. Of the county's 379,000 residents who voted in November, 73 percent wanted the red light cameras to be gone. Even the state courts have recently reversed course and begun pushing back against the use of cameras.

New Jersey Cops May Not Order Passengers Out Of Car
Cops in New Jersey can order a driver out of his car, but not the
passenger -- at least, not without good reason. That was the conclusion
of an appellate panel of the New Jersey Superior Court last month after
considering the case against Tawian Bacome, who was driving a Ford
Bronco when a pair of detectives set up a sting operation in the late
afternoon of April 29, 2011.
Woodbridge Detectives Brian Jaremczak and Patrick Harris suspected that the Bronco was involved in a drug deal. They were ready when it passed by on Route 9. They claimed Bacome's passenger was riding without a seatbelt and initiated a traffic stop. After Detective Harris said he saw Bacome reach under his seat, both the driver and passenger were ordered out of the car. Once the vehicle's door was open, the detectives saw a rolled up piece of paper and a small piece of Brillo pad, which they concluded was drug paraphenalia. This became justification for a search of the SUV, something they intended to do even before the stop began.
"I asked him out of the vehicle," Detective Jaremczak testified. "And at that time it became a narcotic investigation... I did believe that they went to Newark to purchase narcotics."
A trial judge considered this sufficient to uphold a conviction for possession of the crack cocaine that was subsequently found. The three-judge appellate panel majority disgreed becase there was no reason to order the passenger out of the car.
The majority reasoned that a driver could be ordered out of a car because of the importance of a police officer's safety. Here, the majority found the detectives were simply operating on a hunch. Failure to wear a seatbelt is a situation that hardly raises suspicion of looming danger.
"The record reveals that much of what motivated this stop and investigation was the detectives' assumption that defendant and [passenger] were narcotics users or sellers or both," Judge Fisher wrote. "The record contains nothing but rumor and innuendo to support that assertion."
No evidence of a threat to officer safety was presented at trial, and the driver's movement did not suggest the passenger was a danger.
"The order that [the passenger] exit the vehicle was impermissible and -- because it was the linchpin for all that followed -- defendant's motion to suppress what was thereafter discovered and seized should have been granted," Judge Fisher concluded.

New AL Priority Radar Package Coming Soon!
We have been asked by many to expand the radar integration on the AL Priority Laser Defense system to enable it to offer the best Laser & Radar protection in an affordable package.
We currently have support for the Beltronics Sti-R Plus antennas and in a week we will be adding support for the Escort 9500CI Antenna. In the Spring we will also add support for the popular V1 Radar Detector.
Look for new packages coming soon on our website. http://www.bestradardetectors.net and the AL Priority USA official website: http://www.alpriorityusa.com

Flashing headlights to warn drivers going to be a crime?
What is this world coming to.... I remember the days when everyone
would flash upcoming drivers to warn them of fixed speed camera traps
and it was the right thing to do. I mean someone flashes you and you
immediately check your speed and this is a good thing right? I mean its
all about safety right?
A case in Missouri was recently filed in the name of Jerry L. Jarman Jr, a Kansas motorist ticketed on August 24 because he used his headlights to warn oncoming traffic of a speed trap. Such prosecutions have taken place around the country and now the common practice of flashing has become a ticketing event
In October, the ACLU filed a similar lawsuit in Delaware to fight back. Unlike the Delaware case, where police used a turn signal statute to outlaw headlight flashing, Grain Valley has a specific ordinance making it a crime to warn of a speed trap.
Can only wonder what the future will bring.

New Comparison between Max, Max 2 & Escort Redline Radar Detectors
On the main website we put up a new comparison of the Max, Max2 & Escort Redline radar detectors. In short all 3 of these detectors are really some of the best windshield mounted radar detectors that have ever been created. The Max since it was was introduced has really come a very long way and while it did have a very rough introduction with each firmware version the unit has become much more stable.
The Max 2 although I cant understand the naming makes you think its a next generation product but its really the same detector but they now added a Bluetooth chip inside the detector so you no longer need a separate Escort Live cable to connect to Escort's Escort Live service. They really in my option named the Max 2 incorrectly and there should be the Escort Max and a Max BT (Embedded Bluetooth).
In any case the Max & Max 2 are very good detectors now. My preference for raw range is still the Redline but the Max Series are much better than the 9500 series that they replace.
