Unhappy Don't bother

Like Uncle Ernie said - "(b). Radar Detectors. Useless. Junk. Ka-ka. Nothing but electronic gadgetry designed to give you a false sense of security."....."For starters, let me introduce you to instant on or pulse radar, and to laser. Each of which by the time you detect it... Officer Friendly is already filling out your speeding ticket."

Laser speed detectors have made radar detectors obsolete. Even laser detectors are virtually useless, unless you happen to get a stray signal while another car is measured.

The best ways to avoid detection were noted by Uncle Ernie.

I was in traffic court once and overheard testimony from an officer describing the workings of his laser gun. He said it was like a weapon in that it had a viewfinder with crosshairs and a trigger. An officer is able to measure the speed of any object in the cross hairs. Defenses such as "it was the other guy" can't work - he sees you.
