The Escort X50, Bell RX65 PRO, and The V1 will all serve you very well. IMO the V1 arrows are useless. Once you learn how to use the detector and recognize what it is telling you, you gain greater awareness than relying on a couple of silly arrows. IMO the BELL RX65 is every bit as capable as the Valentine. In some tests it actually performed better. I've been using detectors since I started driving. Don't just put one in your car and think you have a get out of jail free card. It is a tool and you need to learn how to use it.

Laser jammers are illegal in Kalifornia.

However, laser parking systems, which just happen to jam police laser systems, are not.
