My friend Greg got a new toy. An Escort Radar Detector that is iPhone/Web enabled. The concept is simple. Your radar detector syncs with your iPhone/Android cellphone. You then become part of a vast network of drivers who automatically report radar and laser speed traps and cops across the continent. If there's a cop up ahead who's turning his radar on and off, not allowing your detector to pick it up, no worries, the network will probably already have gotten it and will furnish you with fair warning.
Another revenue raising parasitic governmental activity is red-light cameras. These devices insure that if you get stuck in an intersection due to traffic, you will receive a ticket in the mail. These cameras are intended solely to raise revenue, not to insure public safety. The network has a national database containing virtually every red-light camera in the nation. Plug in your phone and you'll be amazed how many of these dollar snatchers have been strategically placed around your city or town.
