In the neighborhood today I noticed an old beat up Ford Ranger pulled to the side totally lit up with a bunch of clear/amber LEDs suction-cupped to the rear window. As I got close I realized it was a Pizza Hut delivery guy dropping off somebody's dinner. Had the magnetic pizza sign on the roof and various punk rock band stickers on the bumper. Tried to get pics but couldn't find digicam :-(.

Hes bitchin about some civi impala with an amber lightbar when he himself has a slimmiser in the window. Maybe there was a legitamate reason for the impala to have the lightbar, like security or something. The pot calling the kettle black

Looks like a radar detector to me. Not to mention it is a Corvette...

If Mike read the owner's Youtube channel information rather than jumping to a conclusion and posting a knee-jerk reactionary defense, he might have seen that. Just checking the guy's information and other videos he talks about the devices he has in his car and what they are used for. In the video in question he stated an observation off of the information he had at hand and there is nothing wrong what he did.

From my vantage point with it looked like a warning light with it mounted behind the RVM like that. And for the record I can't read you tube comments on my computer at work...so it wasn't a "knee - jerk, reactionary" statement. But I will say rabid that your comment reminds me why I can't stand you, quite frankly I was hoping you would abandon ELB and stick with you PolicePosers page.

For the record I didn't see anything wrong with the impala. Lots of civi impalas driving around and who knows maybe he had a legitamate excuse for the lights. Quite frankly, if it is illegal thats up for the LEOs to enforce, not the wannabe light police. One of the reasons the old board sucked were members trying to be the lightbar police.

1. So seeing only one thing gave you reason enough to jump on the video author? I've seen people called whacker over more evidence and you jump on them for not having the whole story. That seems a little hypocritical if you ask me.

2. You don't like me, get over it. Throwing childish insults doesn't result in anything other than showing the true character of someone. I don't like some people on here but I don't wish anything on them as this is a public forum owned by someone else. PM me if you have issues you want to iron out.

Quite frankly, if it is illegal thats up for the LEOs to enforce, not the wannabe light police.

Yup, if I got a nickel for every time I heard "we don't care about those types of crimes until someone is robbed, hurt, or killed", I would be rich. A vigilant, educated, and observant public is better than an obtuse and one thinking the law enforcement sector will enforce 100% of the laws 100% of the time. I don't condone vigilante justice but I don't support turning a blind eye until it affects me either.

This is my reply on this matter. Let the thread get back on topic.

One does not need to read anything to realize that it is a radar detector, just watch any one of the other videos he has posted. Plus a Whelen Slim Miser does not have two suction cups next to each other, there is only one on each end. So yes, you jumped to conclusions too quickly and did not do any research before you made your comment. It does not matter if you can not read the comments, it is not needed because almost all the videos are about the radar detector.

[Stendec]

Hilarious - a guy with a radar detector complaining about a guy with a lightbar being defended by guys assuming that the guy with the lightbar might break a law and that the guy with the radar detector is cool. If I had a nickel for every time I heard that "radar detectors promote safety by telling us where the police are and reminding people to slow down" I'd have enough nickels to pay for all those radar detectors that people thought would save them from speeding tickets and didn't.

If I got a nickel for everybody who committed crimes without illegally using flashing lights I'd have a hell of a lot more nickels than the poser patrol.

I am not trying to downplay the seriousness of keeping sex offenders away from kids, but on Halloween nights this is the kind of pain in the ass stuff I don't have time for. I mean if a concerned parent calls in that is one thing, but this big tub o lard calling in just to get his jollies is another. As a parent I would be more concerned with this whack job cruising up and down the street.

That's actually a fairly common way to install lightbars. There are several agencies in Iowa that I can think of that do that. Saves drilling holes in the roof, they say. To me, if you're gonna drill 3 holes for antennas you might as well drill one for the lightbar cable too, but oh well.

[TritonBoulder47]

The CVPI that my friend (triton911bj) and I are re-doing for a officer buddy of ours... It was a cruiser from a neighboring police agency and I think all their wiring was done in-house by the township road crews...

Click for larger image...


It can also be seen HERE

I don't have a pic if it, but the wires were run from the engine bay, through the fender an into the car via the door grommet... LoL We are in the process of re-doing about 90% of this car...
