TETRA Detectors

[Jdjd1]

Want to know my experience with my local force?

Home invasion/armed robbery 3am,

3 armed men steal my car, family at knife point

Police respond to my call, give chase literally as they steal my car but call it off for being ' dangerous '

Car gone never to be seen again

×××ker above would rather continue dunking his donuts and fingering his speed gun preying on soft targets

So the police (or wkers as you call them) should continue a dangerous pursuit and put members of the public, themselves and the offenders (sorry if you don't like that bit, bit it's a factor) at risk of serious injury or worse - so you can have your car back ?

[Jdjd1]

Hahaha, Exactly why our police force is a joke,

Armed robbery
Home Invasion

Nasty bandits that actually NEED locking up, Wonder how many poor sods got done after me by the same crew because some idiot felt like it violated his health and safety rights giving chase at 3am


Forget the car,

The police should PROTECT and SERVE

Not willing to put yourself in danger or be hurt defending the public? Sorry for me your in the wrong job

That's not really fair is it?

What if innocent members of the public are caught up in a crash during a pursuit?

There has to be a safety call at some point - happy for a couple of innocents to be killed in a crash whilst plod are chasing your car?

You're a muppet.

Here's one example (of many).

1. TETRA will end for emergency services in next couple of years
2. Not just the emergency services use it - councils, utility companies etc can all apply to use the system.
3. There are hundreds of people working on the network, all of which carry a TETRA radio (same frequency but band locked onto maintenance channels) so they would set any detector off too.

Thanks for the info, but on the motorways I travel on my detector only picks up emergency services and VOSA, so it's fine for my needs and if I get 2 more years out of it I'll be more than happy

Oh dear

[endaf90]

Ideal, sounds like the coppers really don't want people to have these devices, that's enough of a reason for me to buy one haha!

[Helicopter123]

OP Could you wrap your car in foil to prevent various law enforcement types from pulling you over for trivial matters such as speeding or not wearing a seatbelt? It's maybe that they don't know who you are and appreciate that laws for 'normal' people shouldn't be applied to you?

Funny timing this thread. Working last night clocked someone at 103mph, stopped said vehicle and he had a target blue eye on the dash switch on and working.

It didn't detect my vehicle until it was too late. Clocked the speed at 630m away.

We had a discussion about the device and it did alert to my vehicle but only once he was about 50m away. All in all a nice chap but he agreed it's no use to avoid speeding fines. It does work great however to let you know an emergency vehicle is coming on blues if you really need to fork out hundreds for that....

Worked out well for him then.

Maybe there was no armed robbery happening at the time this officer was using the speed gun, just a thought?

You could have seized the device and produced it if he goes to trial over the 103mph.

These receivers are not in breach of any wireless regulations but may well come under the as yet inactive proposals to change section 41 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 by putting in a provision to outlaw speed assessment equipment detection devices. The law isn't active and is under review. Perhaps a provision to outlaw emergency services radio detectors can be added in to that proposed amendment.

I can see no use for such a device other than to avoid observation by the police. While the device manual and advertising has a reason to use it that is a cock-and-bull story with a nefarious use the true purpose.

Perhaps you should have a chat with jm doc:

jm doc said:

Lots of other laws don't matter, shoplifting, burglary, drugs, financial services act for bankers. Just for starters.
Need I continue??

According to him, burglary doesn't matter, but to you, having been the victim of a burglary, apparently it does matter!

This highlights why the Police enforce all of the Laws (or at least try to), because a crime that isn't important to one person, is important to another person.

Drivers speeding may not seem important to many, but to people who had family members/friends killed or seriously injured due to someone speeding, it's very important.

I have a target blue eye and out of town ( Scotland ) its great, Does exactly what its supposed to do, I do have the more expensive external dipole antenna fitted behind the front grill but in sight of the road ahead and i like it,

Round town just switch it off or be driven demented.

Blue eye is exactly what we tested. Was a bit crap if you ask me. Considering our camera vans switch off airwave radio and engine when parked up it wouldn't alert to them anyway.

But if your out of town and worried about unmarked cars ( coming up behind you, up side streets, in front of you ) thats when these come into there own, especially if you use the external dipole antenna,

And while i am sure some bib switch off there air wave radio ect when siting in a cold lay-by i will bet you at least 50% dont when in there cars

As for Scammer vans thats why god made Waze and Road Angel...

so the Blue Eye does help.
