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.

Dear LEO, thanks for the advice. I will keep using my $500 "useless" device which has saved me a boatload of money in traffic fines.
