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.

I will agree to that. I always use a radar detector when taking trips (for many years). I guess I have always ran in to lazy cops because its always going off miles before I see them. Until this one night...BEEP BEEP BEEP and then the highway patrol right ahead of me hiding in trees
. My bad.
