I've seen quite a bit of tests for the detector detector, V1, Escort 8500, 9500 and their Passport Max has the lowest chance of getting caught.

Let's put it this way, if the state you're traveling does not rule out the use of detectors, you have no worries about those, simply, because of the budget, they feel unnecessary to buy such device since they don't have any rules about not allowing radar detectors.

But, if you do get pulled over with it, just try to turn it off or hide it, it may give you a better chance of not getting a ticket. However, most of the time, cops don't care about these, especially in Ohio. They know it would not work on their laser guns.

With my personal experience, I would dim the display light at night time especially if I'm in Indiana. One time one of the Indiana Highway Patrol saw the detector light through the window, and my whole way down to Bloomington from Indianapolis was a living hell. Well, it all started with a pretty aggressive turn, followed by a pretty good acceleration, while still stayed in the speed limit. He saw me and started to following me, then he decided to quit, and have all his buddies waiting ahead, every other 5-7 miles for 40 miles. Some of them even hide in the darkest place that you would never thought of. I wasn't going to speed anyway, so I just cruised away, but having the detector keep buzzing is not fun, and actually quite annoying because they all have their radar device broadcasting KA band...

I also got pulled in Indiana quite often, but when they pulled me over, never mentioned anything about my detector, and it's usually just a hi, bye, drive safe, and I had the device mounted very high ever since I was followed.

Well, I'm actually planning on getting laser shifter since Ohio is utilizing 100% in their speed enforcement. If you have the same situation, consider the same.
