In this story from Wired magazine (http://www.wired.com/cars/coolwheels/magazine/15-11/ff_cannonballrun), we hear about Alex Roy and his quest to break the record time for a cross USA road trip. One of the biggest roadblocks to breaking the record: highway patrol officers, about 31,000 along the way. So Roy decked out his E39 BMW M5 with a thermal camera, radar/laser detectors, GPS devices, police scanners, and other high-tech gadgets and toys.
