This replaced older methods, where the gun was left on constantly to lock-on to a particular vehicle’s speed. Because their radar is on standby, pop method is extremely difficult to avoid. The best way to avoid a pop method ticket is to hope the cops read another car around you first. This will give you some advance warning to slow down.

Start reaching for the registration and practice your best innocent smile.
