Page 5: Spectre False AlertsAs any radar detector owner knows, no radar detector is immune to false alerts. This is also true of RDD's, and the Spectre is no exception. Law enforcement officers have complained about the inordinate amount of false alerts that RDD's produce. The false alerts can be caused by any number of other devices operating on the same frequency. At the 2003 Radar Detector Shoot Out by Speed Measurement Laboratories, one RDD manufacturer was upset that the testing site was within 10 miles of a US Air Force Base. He claimed some false alerts triggering his device were caused by the microwave emissions from the base. There have been several reports that some XM radios will set off Spectre units. Radar Roy also has a GPS tracking system installed on both his Harley Davidson motorcycle and in his Ford F-250 pick-up. Roy has found that the GPS tracking unit installed on his Harley, will set off a Spectre, however the same unit installed in his truck, will not set off the Spectre. The Spectre can't positively pinpoint a specific vehicle that contains a radar detector. It merely provides "reasonable suspicion" that a device in the area has activated the RDD. If you are the only vehicle in the area, an officer may stop you and ask if you are using a radar detector. Based upon your statements, actions and observations an officer may decide he has probable cause to search your vehicle. |
