I agree... I used to have one and found that I actually got more tickets than I did previously or since I quit using one. I actually had my car broken into twice just to steal the stupid thing.... I also found out (thru experience) that a cop will more likely cut you some slack if you don't have one of those as compared to automatically getting a ticket if they spot one....
It was hard at first, but when I got my SSR (which gets a lot of attention...yellow with flames), I just slowed my butt down... There is nothing wrong with crusing and letting everyone see how cool looking your car is...especially a cool Camaro...
Of course, I can say this before actually driving a Camaro...I guess it is easier said than done....

If he is taking sample readings from random cars, and that random car happens to be you, it will only work if your vehicle can slow down at the speed of sound(or light if it is a laser radar unit). For example i was on patrol one night and observed a vehicle traveling at me what looked like a high rate of speed, I activated my radar unit and it gave me a reading of 55mph (30mph zone). I never saw a front end of a car dip down harder than this one. When I talked to the guy all he could say is "Yeah you got me". So in conclusion think about this before you go and spend a boatload of money on this virtually useless device.
