Nope. I can definitely see you doing that, though.

I've asked to put the sticker on myself (illegal, apparently) multiple times and actually succeeded this past time.... then I kind of messed it up while putting it on there, lol. Good thing they fixed it. But yeah, I always watch them put it on and sort of guide them on where to place it.

I was over in the Garland area today to go bike riding and the only marked cop I saw was a paddy wagon looking thing. I saw one silver and one white crown vic that had pulled people over.

So strange. Haven't had a front plate on my car in years and no one says a peep. In fact the only time I had one was years ago when I bought a car from someone. It came off soon after and no one has ever said boo since. Odd.

i think it is because school started up, grapevine has chargers and have the words grapevine police in a shade or two darker than the car so you barely see it

I think one of them was running k-band too. I was next to him at a red light and my detector was going crazy.

K band in garland means slow the f down. Almost every squad car in garland uses k band instead of ka.

Flower Mound uses Ka band and they drive around with it active because I always know when they are coming up.

Sometimes I can tell they flash it at me because the signal gets strong then dies down....then they hit me again....Lol...they think they are sligh.

They will also just sit in the middle of a 3 lane road on the left turn lane and hit drivers coming up or down the street.

Ka band is used 99% of the time from what I've seen. I think in rural NM and TX I saw k band from like small town sheriffs.

And we found out my wheel bearing was fine. Somehow the axle nut came loose. Thing wasnt even finger tight. I guess thats why they put the codder pin there lol.

Okay. Now that really is scary. Glad nothing worse came of this. Ugh.
