i know that they have to be in plain view

 

Cops are cops, they do what they want. Dont get caught and you wont have a problem.

 

uh....think i spoke pretty clearly. if im wrong, then please correct me.

 

So is it entrapment when they sit in the bypass roads cut into the hills on the highway, so you can't see them until you're directly next to them? Come on now, you've been busted fair and square.
Just because you can't see them doesn't mean you're off the hook for speeding. Are unmarked cars entrapment too because they don't look like police cars? How about police cars with tinted windows, does it count if you can't see the officer inside? How about a motorcycle, they don't look like cars...

 

you had to have meant "private property".

public property is a public right-of-way, like a road.

 

oh shit, thanks. lol
i meant they're not suposed to shoot radar while parked on private property.
exuse the typo.

 

haha.

 

yea they can do it its totally legal ive seen them doin it u jus gotta watch it man

 

In my brothers patrol car there's actually a button or switch that he can engage to get the car completely dark. No interior lights, no exterior lights. Good luck in court.

 

I've been pulled by a cop sitting in the middle turn lane of a two lane in each direction road. It was around midnight and he had no lights on at all, AND he was in the road.
