Want to buy my younger brother a radar detector for Christmas but I know nothing about them, including their legality.
Are they legal in Missouri? Any specific kinds that are better than others? Not looking to break the bank so a mid range one will suffice

9/10 times they are a waste because cops will find out you have a radar before you pick them up on it
the cops can detect radar detectors?
Really? I've got a friend with one and I don't think he's ever been caught/pulled over. Then again he isn't really the type to do stupid speeds
Radar detector detectors are a thing.
I live in based Ohio where radar detectors are legal and traffic light cam tickets are thrown out in court.
Unfortunately I also live in Cincinnati where the police can legally "eyeball" your speed and it stands up in court.
I looked this stuff up recently out of pure curiosity. I think this guide is pretty good.

and this was pretty good at showing what to avoid.:

basically just says that false alarms are annoying with a cheap detector. and it picks up random signals a lot. If i were to buy one, I'd look for a mid range around 300$ that is accurate enough to avoid constant false alarms.
There are models like the one in OPs picture that can't be detected.
Well shit I was hoping for like $150 or less. I don't want to get him a shitty one either so I guess I'll have to think of something else
Thanks for the info
you could probably find one for that. 300 is just where most of them will be good I think. check that guide for something between 100-200$. there is probably a decent option there.
You have to see it as an investment, so I paid 650$ for mine.
>it learns false alarms, and I love it.
