That thing must have paid for itself pretty quick! Last I heard with radar dectors they didn't work do to laser technology. That was like in 2000 so I guess it's time to give RD another looksy.

Wow there's my hard working tax dollars at work giving a pack of wolves the ability to sit back and have one guy radar people and send them off towards the damn sheeple. Isn't the cop that radar'd you supposed to be the one that is to issue the ticket?? Damn revenue generators

No. Lots of PDs use this method. 1 with the gun, multiple officers to write the citations

In so cal, there is this one hill everyone speeds down, cops set up shop and clocked em at the top of the hill, then pulled them over by just waiving them down, then writing the tickets

Acually so far my Valentine 1 has picked up many cops over the past few years that I've had it. Definately has paid for itself by now. The only time I've gotten a speeding ticket was when the power cord for it was broken.

Do they ever radar from regular looking unmarked cars? My V1 went crazy on KA band the other day and I could've sworn it was a parked Geo Metro that was shooting the radar...

ka bands come from the road sensors and stuff sometimes

newer infinitis (fx45) with the lane sensing sensor arrays will set off the laser warning as well

they arent really setting you up...i mean, whats the difference between one lonely cop sitting at a certain spot, and a bunch of cops sitting at the same spot all radaring. i mean it sucks, but they are just doing their jobs, catching peopel doing illegal acts(speeding). i mean really think about it...whats the difference between one cop chillin radaring and many cops doin it in one spot?
