Bay Area official COP Sighting
Since I am noticing quite a bit of police activity with radar guns all over the Bay Area, I thought I would start a thread to have members post where they see or know of police hiding with radar guns.
Yesterday I saw one on motorcycle 580 west between Hacienda and Hopyard.
There is another one sitting on Dublin blvd in the IHOP parking lot hiding behind the bushes.
Please let us know where you know there are others.

Seems like you can't even go +2 over the speed limit here in Dublin. I always see people pulled over on the stretch of Hacienda between Dublin blvd and the 580.

Since theres no crime in Dublin, all they can do is bust people in the busy areas.
Last time I left Aura nightclub a couple Fridays ago, I pulled out of the parking lot onto Hopyard all the while my V1 was beeping & creeping up in intensity. I "checked both sides of the street" as I came to a stop at the sign and sure enough there was police cruiser (with no lights on) tucked down near the corner of Hopyard/Stoneridge. There wasn't a car behind me but there was a Nissan Pathfinder that pulled out before I did. So I pull out the lot onto the street, accelerate up tothe speed limit then kick the cruise control. As soon as I had rolled out the PD cruiser woke up and tucked in behind, the V1 was screaming, but I held at the speed limit. Figured the worst I was looking at was him not liking my tint or having dealer plates.
He was behind me about 2/3 of the way to Johnson drive , then he went around getting a good look at my ride, passed me...and pulled over the Pathfinder. I was like "sucks to be you" and noticed a second PD cruiser had joined in, possibly to try catching me speeding, but 'speeding on public streets is illegal'. So I held my legit speed, kicked it up some to merge onto 580W and the 2nd cruiser "walked on by".
Almost the same thing happened when I gave a buddy from NASIOC a ride to Dublin bart where his wrx was parked after we were out late in the city on Friday night.
Gotta love Dublin/Pleasanton PD.

Oh, and on 80 East/West going through Albany & El Cerrito the CHP congregate out at the Costco parking lot. They dont radar the freeway from there, but they do hang there between pwn's.
