I use one but I do not usually speed - because most police cars in my state have radar signals on at all times, it basically tells you if there are any police cruisers within ~1 mile. I believe cops are dangerous and unpredictable so this is useful information to me.

- JohnMakin 2y agoI mean it heavily depends on what skin color you have - I grew up in LA and saw the rodney king beatings. People of myself and my family’s skin color have had to be careful for a lot longer than the last 10 years.
- kstrauser 2y agoI hear ya. If someone with skin a different shade than mine says they’d prefer not to talk to the police, I’m not going to argue. About 10-15 years ago when everyone got cameras was when it changed in my mind from something you heard about too often, but randomly, to seemingly every freaking day with hard evidence to prove it. I know it’s been going on a lot longer than 10 years. I think it’s kind of like rogue waves. The people involved had been telling stories forever about the things they’d seen. Now that we have recordings everywhere, what do you know, rogue waves all over the place. And people who’d experienced them are like, yeah, we’ve been trying to tell you for ages.
