Florida Drivers: Save our rights to radar detectors

[Über Motorwerks]

This is not a joke by any means... Florida is trying to pass a bill that will make radar detectors illegal. The following is a report from the associated press:

Radar detectors would be prohibited in Florida under a bill filed by a Florida lawmaker and former sheriff.The proposal, introduced by state Senator Steve Oelrich, would make it illegal to use a radar detector.But the measure would make using one a secondary, non-criminal traffic violation. That means that law enforcement officers could not stop you just because you have a radar detector in your car.If an officer pulls you over for another traffic violation and they discover a radar detector, they can then issue you a ticket.The legislation has the support of the Florida Highway Patrol, which says radar detectors have no other purpose than to help speeders avoid traffic tickets.

This is a petition we created to try to prevent this from happening...

This is completely legit, and I'm not looking for anyones cash. Besides the fact that I wouldn't get the site would. I just want to protect my right to monitor those who are monitoring us.
