V-1's and most good detectors are invisible to radar detector detectors. Cheap detectors are not. V-1 even mentions this in their literature as a selling point.

How many of these are you guys allowed to purchse/distribute? Is rank tied in to it in any way?

Only one I got off of was doing 40 in a 30 in a town that is known as a PITA (no one gets out of tickets there). He stopped me and saw I'd just got my Jeep Liberty. Well, he asked for my lisence and I told him "I just got the car 12 hours before (that was the truth) and was still getting used to it". I had 4 friends with me (they'd been drinking) and I told him I was just going to drop them off. He asked if I had insurance on it yet and I just said "here's the one for my other car, I called the company, but it won't be switched over till Monday when they open". He just said "That's too much paperwork, drive safetly" and walked off.

Paybacks are a bitch!
Melrose Drive , Tullamarine , Victoria, Australia . January 16th 2006 :
14.35 hours :
Highway patrol pulls over a Workcover Inspector for doing 68 in a 60 zone.
Workcover Inspector says nothing and cops it sweet.
Policeman finishes writing ticket and proceeds back to his car...........
Workcover Inspector in the mean time, gets digital camera out of bag, photographs the cop and proceeds to the police car where he issues the Policeman with an $800.00 fine for not wearing his hi-visibility vest when leaving his vehicle in a high traffic area.

Three Wheelin'
I got a ticket on a stretch of freeway that I know very well 5 years ago doing 85 in a 75 with practically no traffic around. The female Highway Patrol officer was irate as she approached, and told me that she could take me to jail for 85 if she wanted to. I explained that I knew the highway very well and don't normally speed, but I was on the way to the hospital where my dad was after just having a severe stroke. I then got a lecture about how I shouldn't be driving because I was upset and that's what causes accidents. I bit my tongue, signed the ticket, and was able to make it to the hospital before he died.
Other encounters I've had with the police have been positive, they're usually very nice. This was just a fat, mean, ugly, unhappy woman and it's a good thing I didn't tell her how I felt because I'm sure I would have gone to jail. I considered filing a complaint, not because I didn't deserve a ticket (I was speeding), but because she was so rude. I didn't because I had to drive that freeway every week, and would have surely been pulled over by her again.

NY PBA cards have rank on them and numbers for patrolman. I had a detective one I swapped a NYPD guy for. PA FOP cards just have the banner and crest. Counsel is one of the delgates assigned to a boro counsel I belive. The "theory" behind these cards is you can exchange one for a minor traffic violation. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I go more by attitude then who you know. If you know an Officer, don't name drop, just be really polite and try to work it out later. I've dropped cites for other Officers and Troopers before.

When I was a freshman in college I got pulled over in my black 951 at night. I was doing the speed limit minding my own business and all of a sudden I see flashing lights in the back. When he came up to the car I asked him what the problem was, he said he saw a green light glowing out the back of my car and wanted to search it. I was very respectful and told i have nothing to hide and let him search the car. He tore out my back mat my speaker and all my crap and left it on the side of the road and went on his mary way. Real repectful eh? Ever since than it has left a bad taste in my mouth about police officers. I have also been harassed last summer just cruising around, cop was in the other lane going the opposite direction moment he sees me car does a quick u-turn and gets 2 inches from my rear bumper, I simply just pulled into a strangers driveway and let him pass, as im not going to play that game. Don't get me wrong I have met some good ones but the bad so far out weighs the good. Oh and for the record I have been ticket free since 2001.
