These guys are just talking a bunch of crap, man.
I was pulled over in my Lotus a few months ago while running an Escort SR7 hard wired to the car. (if you didn't know where to look, you couldn't see it when standing outside the car.)
I was the only car on the street at 8:00 AM and he had his motorcycle physically parked on the center island between two trees while he was using his radar as a point and shoot.
He hit me doing 40 in a 30.
I pulled over, shut down the car, kept my hands on the steering wheel and asked for his permission to reach into my pocket to get my wallet.
After he gave me a hard time for speeding, he asked me if I had a radar setup in the car due to how quickly he saw me slow down when he gunned me.
I laughed and showed him, then he laughed and let me go.
I find that 99% of the time people get tickets it's because of their attitude during the pull over. It won't get you off every time, but being nice and reasonable never hurts.
Come on guys, you know why you're getting pulled over.
@ the OP: if you have the cash, I'd recommend an Escort 9500ci. It out performs both the Valentine One, which has done a pi$$ poor job of innovating/advancing the technology, and the K40 by a pretty wide margin.
If you have a budget like the rest of us, I'd recommend the 9500ix, which I believe Double D Mods, a supporting vendor, has on sale right now.
