I agree it's a lame tactic, but . . .

Guillermo just confirmed the beating the bush tactic, I knew it was too easy 
for them to pass up. 

No flame taken.  Actually I work very hard at it, but just when I think I've
heard it all they come up with something new (ie. Pittsburg unmarks
pull over to the side with trunk open and hazards on (no pillar light,
dressed up civilian oldsmobile I think, even whitewalls - nasty) then
radiate you as you go by) 

In the past I've hidden my rd in map books and other stuff, just to remove
the annoyance factor from a following patrol, I just figured a remote
would make things a little neater inside - another toy really.

Bear bait will probably become extinct at this rate in this part of the country

Actually I find the worst threat is the oncoming bear.  I learned about the 
closing
bear before I left college - a taxachussets trooper (interceptor type) 
caught up 
with me on the way to cape cod, I was so shook up he didn't have the heart to 
give me a ticket.
