Then again, you can not out drive the cops radio.
I'd say 'tuner' as well.

It depends on the officer really. Most will arrest you and tow your car at those speeds but some will only give you a ticket. Especially if they've been working a double shift and really just want to get home. When you arrest someone you have to drive them all the way to the prison, which may be in the opposite direction of your house, and do all the paper work.
Gee, that's a real help! It depends on the officer! Sorry, but most would simply call for backup to take you away.

"State police have ticketed an upstate New York man for driving more than twice the 65-mph speed limit on an interstate highway."

Driving "more than twice the speed limit" over here, then you can say bye-bye to your driving-license. It is probably the same at your place. But if the calibration of the speeding camera is overdue, this would would mean that the measured speed will be narrowed down by let's say 10-20 % to correct the possible error, no? Could make a big difference, you keep your driving-license.

Could be gold to "challenge the radar gun". I like the idea.
