Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: OT: NC man charged with 'driving acop car' due to ham antennas
There was a similar case in PA. They were licensed for X units, and were using X+? at the time. Since it was impossible to tell which ones were the licensed ones and which were not, the ticket was thrown out. Joe M.

I also challanged a ticket like that and won.( this was over 20+ years ago) I heard of one incident where a knowledgable person challenged the speeding ticket he got because the police agency involved was using an unlicensed radar unit. Went through all of this when I worked as one of the county government radio shops. Neil - WA6KLA Jeff Otterson wrote: I thought that police radar was licensed under Part 90...

I would like jerry to explain why he has a Traffic Radar gun sitting on his dash, (zoom in on the dash) I think that might have been a factor in his getting arrested. Being a Ham and also a police officer I see allot of hams that are stepping over the line, from light bars to sirens, in all honesty I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: OT: NC man charged with 'driving acop car' due to ham antennas
Not anymore ... as I remember somewhere in Part 90, if a police department is already licensed under a part 90 frequency for law enforcement necessity, the use of a radar unit permitted without a separate license for it. At the time, it seemed to me very few law enforcement agencies recognized the requirement for a license for their Radar unit - therefore never got one. I heard of one incident where a knowledgable person challenged the speeding ticket he got because the police agency involved was using an unlicensed radar unit. Went through all of this when I worked as one of the county government radio shops.
