V1...best there is on the market. Regardless of what LEO's say...its worth the money. It has let me know of several instances where there were police in front of me (and behind me).

Unfortunately I've still gotten like 4 tickets this year alone. Two were legit, two were B.S. I only had the radar with me on one occasion but the cop didn't even use her radar. I accidently passed her unmarked vehicle when I was running late for work one day. Can't really fight em, so you just gotta pay em or go deferrred or DD if possible.

One thing I think is B.S....is the whole idea of "I'm just trying to keep you safe by slowing you down!" Yea, because my going 5 over is really putting myself and everyone around me in danger. That said, I understand that not all police officers are the same and will approach things differently.

But no matter what is said by the LEO's...tickets are revenue generators. Perhaps not all the time, but they are nonetheless. I have driven the same way for the past 5 years, and never gotten a ticket. As soon as the economy went to the crapper, all of a sudden I start getting handed tickets left and right.
