Just a guess, but because he is a LICENSED HAM and may want to use the HAM BAND that many radar guns transmit on or can be modified to transmit on? Not everyone sticks with HF, or even VHF/UHF bands.
As for 'extra' brake lights (assuming they are red) in the rear deck, most PD cars are sold with them left there and again, there is nothing illegal about a high mounted stop light. In fact, it's a requirement in most states. They don't have to bo that big, but again, not illegal. Again, I would encourage those wishing to discuss the matter to join: <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GovtVShams/> so as to not tie up the RB list with a thread that is pretty much not on topic for this list. I'm sure many people are getting fed up with it. Joe M. Mike Pugh wrote: > > But it also tends to get one arrested.. So, unless you're a cop, or are > not wishing to invite trouble, why have one?
