I bought a valentine 1 to protect against radar. It works pretty well. At least the cops here don't have lasers, then I'd be screwed.

Pizzaman, awesome info, and I hope you do post the thread about it because I'm very interested. I'm not going to lie though, I am interested on the point to avoid tickets, but none the less very interested.

I do have a question, like I said, I have and love my valentine radar detector. It is supposed to be one of the best on the market. But how much faith can I put into it that it will let me know ahead of time that there is a police guy checking people's speeds. I know the instant on is harder to find, etc, the basics. But how much do they REALLY help? If you know.

And zorro, I kind of know how you feel, dealing with a policeman that just doesn't seem like a nice guy. I got a ticket in my old car from a guy like that, I was definitely speeding and accepted that, but the guy was a ****** bag. :P
