    Default radar detector..

    I've heard that they are legal inn the states since 'waves' are consider as free.

    I really need one of these fellas badly. Wich one should I get? I heard that there's 'laser' type and 'waves' type...

    Is it the type a thing that you get on ebay off a powerseller?

    thanx again

    so everyone agree on that 'valentine v1'? that's really the only one that make a 360degree scan?

    And is it possible to make it work with no lights (sound only)? because over here in canada it's like a 1k$ fine if you get caught.

    Can this work in the glove box or it need to be stick on the windshield?

    Also, can cops detect a radar detector?

    thanx again for your help!

    Radar detectors are passive and can't be detected. Dunno what to buy though, I figure not having one makes me drive the speed limit. But I never do, and still no tickets in 24 years. (knock knock)

    this appers to be false... A guy on another forum just informed me that cop now got a device called Spectre RDD that will detect if you are using a radar detector.

    God, I love the internet =). awsome place to spread sedition. I Googled and I found these 2 links, the second one is fun. Seems the STi Driver is the way to go, dunno how well it performs though.

    Police came with radars.
    Drivers answered with radar detectors.
    Police replied with radar detector detectors.
    Drivers countered with radar detector detector detectors and countermeasures.
    Wavelength and signal modulation and therefore reading falsification as well as radar and laser jamming.
    Sounds more like Electronic Warfare, not driving.
