I was hoping you would say this, because BULL-FUCKING-SHIT
And why can I say this? Because I got a ticket doing the speed limit with cruise control on, no other issues. The cop goes, well you are young in a sports car I figured you were doing something wrong. Here is a ticket for speeding, excuse me I was on cruise control. His reply, does not matter I said you were speeding so here you go.

If you got the ticket for doing the speed limit, you ether really pissed off the cop or ran into bad one, most of the cops aren't going to go out of their way to nail you unless you drew their unwanted attention like acceleration, passing or loud pipes, tint etc.

The only times I had cops give me BS tickets is when I did something that drew their attention, we all hate to admit it when you get pulled over that you did something wrong in the first place.

Nope, he even admitted to my lawyer he did it just because he saw a young adult in a sports car. Figured he could write a ticket and I would just pay it, my lawyer told him if he finds him doing it again he will file against him for suspension.

But back to your point, a radar detector is viable even at $500 per unit and a very good asset to assist a driver.

There are to many situations where they don't work at all and even with the hope that you have the best system out you still need the laser jammer mounted into grill and a radar detector mounted in another area.

Then you need to hope and pray that you get some reflections off someone ahead to warn you and if the cop is using LIDAR or a instant on or hand triggered unit, your nailed.

So with the short range of current detectors ( no time to slow down) and laser and LIDAR, then why even waste the money on them.

Oh good we are back to a logical discussion.
Define short range, I can pick up cops easily 1 mile away with the V1, if that is not plenty of time to shut it down then you are going waaay to fast. Also, I don't think anyone here will argue you can beat a laser offense, yet. You can try to disable there end with jammers but I have already posted many states are shutting that option down.

Also, the "average" cop is not going to be using effective offensive techniques. They use the easiest method for them, switch on/off K or Ka or even just leave the signal actively on, this will quickly be picked up by any decent radar detector.

You are just wrong. Sorry. Any time you have ANYONE around your car who is hit you WILL pick scatter for an instant on KA shot. It's just the facts of how radar works. The only time you are defenseless is when your alone for miles down the road.

Lidar is stupid easy to beat with jammers which work on EVERY current lidar gun. And it's really a moot point since 90% of the patrol LEOs that you encounter don't have Lidar equipment.

I'm starting to think you are just a troll. You can go read countermeasure forums that have actual LEOs on them and they know what works.

so unless a radar detector works 100% of the time in all situations it is a waste of money?

my x50 has saved me from a number of radar traps. i got the warning before a bend, slowed down, saw the leo when i came around the bend, smiled and went on my way unmolested. the savings in insurance alone makes it worth it.

now it didn't save me from the ticket when i got tagged with lidar, but i don't have a jammer, and never expected it to save me in those situations.

a smart driver with a good detector can get a ton of value from it.
