Just because the cops not shooting doesn't mean the detector will not work. My cousin has a really nice one that does Radar,Laser, and LIDAR, as well as Jams LIDAR. He tested it by driving past some parked cruisers at Dunkin Donuts and it went off. He did the same with one of the baseball teams detectors, passing it while it was not shooting, the dectector still got a signal at a good distance away. Its great at finding fast foods places too because their microwaves set off the detector.

I never got one because I don't speed much, my truck stinks on gas as it is. The one time I did go well over I got caught. (i was late for thanksgiving dinner and was doin 77 in a 50.)But the cop was nice enough to only write me up for 10 over because it was my birthday. Fine would have been $350+ and maybe a loss of my liscence. Instead I think I paid $80.

My son used to trust in radar detectors.   But now, after so many tickets, his car insurance is $1,107.00 for six months.

He has instead now decided to start driving under the legal speed limit.

How about this:  Rocky Mountain RMRC450 Radar / Laser Detector & Jammer. World's only All Band Scrambler/Detector....

Quote
After Months of anticipation and it’s unveiling at the Worlds electronics show in Las Vegas. Rocky Mountain Radar has finally released its crown Jewel. Combining Micro Scan, Smart Scan, New Adaptive Laser Tracking System and the awesome new Intelli- Voice Bi-lingual Voice Alert System it is Simply Billed as the “Super Detector”. There is Not a Better Radar Detector/Scrambler Made. Why in the world would you buy just a radar detector? When you can get a radar detector with a built in Scrambler that works so well that if you get a ticket they will pay your fine?

The RMR-C450 has incredible range for both detection and jamming, the best we have ever seen. Rocky Mountain has pulled out all the stops and for the first time has taken their famous radar & laser scrambling technology and integrated it with a whole host of their trademark advancements. Never before has the industry taken this size of leap in technological achievements the RMR-C450 finally gives you a radar laser detector so advanced it doesn't need a scrambler, it’s just nice knowing it there . This is a long-range radar/laser detector with long-range radar/laser scrambling to truly make you invisible to police radar and laser. As with all of Rocky Mountain Radar's radar and laser scramblers there is a full 1 year ticket rebate. If you get a ticket using this product or any of their scramblers with-in the first year they (rocky mountain radar) will pay your fine.

Rocky Mountain Radar’s New RMR-C450 is a full-featured radar and laser detector combined with active laser and passive radar scrambling capabilities.

The radar jamming circuit mixes a Doppler FM chirp with the incoming police radar signal and reflects it back to the radar gun. The computer in the radar gun must receive eight identical, consecutive reading before it will display your speed. All the different speeds contained in the FM chirp confuse the computer in the radar gun so it does not display any speed. This effect duplicates the normal operation that the officer usually sees.

Since it is normal to occasionally lose the target speed, the officer is not suspicious. Reasonable care should be used as flagrant violators could still be caught with an estimated speed.

Lidar sends out laser pulses and measures how long it takes to hit your car and come back. From the speed of light it can determine your range. It sends out several more pulses and calculates your speed from the change in distance over time. The Rocky Mountain Radar scramblers only allow the lidar to see up to 100 feet so it is unable to calculate your speed.
So in effect making your car totally in visible to all police tactics.


You Can't Catch What You Can't See!

**Conditions of Ticket Rebate Program:

1) The ticket must clearly state "RADAR" or "LASER" and "Speeding"

2) Registered owner of a radar and laser jamming product does not exceed 15 MPH over the speed limit or 30% over the posted speed limit whichever is lower.

3) Registration form must be returned within 30 days of purchase.

4) Rebate Valid only in the USA.

5) Registered owner must be the driver of the vehicle when the ticket is issued 6)Registered owner is qualified for this program for one full year from date of purchase.

7) Does NOT APPLY where DWI or DUI is involved or in school or construction zones.

8) This rebate is not available in California.


 

 

NOTE: The manufacturer and its distributors of the Phantom and Phazer radar jammers do not advocate speeding. Police can and will stop you if they think you are exceeding the speed limit. If used discreetly, the Phantom and Phazer radar jammers can and will provide you, the driver, with that additional time needed to adjust your speed to help prevent tickets.





This interests me a bit...I wonder if it really works?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

RMR is a rip off, you may as well buy a plastic box with a rock in it. IIRC they've been banned from sale in some US states

I've used various Escort (Now Valentine) Models since getting my license at 16, about (gasp) 14 years ago. I drive about 15,000 miles a year, through city and country alike, speed pathologically, and have never gotten a speeding ticket while driving my own car.

They're so confident in their product that up to a certain speed above the limit, they'll even pay you the price of your ticket if you get one.

A new one will run about $400, but I'm sure you can get a slightly older model for much cheaper.


Just don't be like this guy:

"In May 2003, on the San Francisco to Miami Gumball 3000 Rally, the first CCR in the United States received the biggest speeding ticket (in terms of speed) in the world; 242 mph (389 km/h) in a 75 mph (121 km/h) zone somewhere in west Texas."

speed limit in west texas is 70mph
Flying since tour 71.

Ah, thanks!  What about something like the 'Blinder' system here:  http://www.1stradardetectors.com/PROWLER-Remote-Systems/index.php   ?

Here in Oregon we never had a speed "limit" before.  Just a suggested safe speed.  Now that there's a bunch of folks from KommieFornia moving up, laws are changing and places that used to be suggested 65mph, are suddenly "Limit" 45.  Grr....

Blinder is an excellent choice.
