Do you use a radar detector?

Do you use a radar detector?
What brand have you had the best luck with?
What specific detector would you suggest?

No
None cause I don't wanna get arrested
I suggest you don't use these as they're against the law and impede the duties of police on the force in protecting society

>I suggest you don't use these as they're against the law and impede the duties of police on the force in protecting society
Who the fuck says cops protect society. Your thinking of upholding the law.

Fucking statist

Epic bait xD
They're not even illegal in like 96% of the United States.

Only illegal in VA and DC. And in commercial trucks.
A Valentine V1,

Uniden r1/r3

My dad had one in all his cars I thought they were always annoying with them beeping all the time so I don't have one

More and more radar detector detectors are used, so don't go with anything cheap as it will have ton of emissions and will be detected.

Try something like
Escort 9500ci
Bel STiR Plus
Escort REDLiINE
Beltronics STi Magnum

:^)

In some countries they are legal and even encouraged.

That way in place of having numerous police squads and expensive traffic cameras they just put up 5$ 10Ghz transmiter in radar box and cars slow down.

But that happens only where they actually care about road safety and not fining people.

Does it matter if they detect my detector? They're legal in my state.

Do you get false alarms from blind spot sensors from other cars?

police usually have the choice to ticket you or not if youre caught speeding

things like radars tend to make police less likely to let you off with a warning

i have a v1 but its pretty old and it needs a 289 dollar update because all these blind spot mirrors shit out radar signals all day making the thing useless

ugh fuck

Stinger VIP, got it for cheap from work.

Found the aspie

My car doesn't go fast enough to get fined

kekd. same here

Radar detectors are annoying and a waste of money.

Police don’t just sit there with their radar on unless it’s a heavily populated area in which case waze would suffice. Also more and more cars have radar cruise control and blind spot monitors which means your radar detector will be going off constantly for nothing.

No, I grew up and quit speeding.
Most I go is 5mph over. It's just not worth it.

No. My car doesn't have 12v outlets.
Also they're kinda useless and annoying because shopping malls

*beeps indiscriminately*

Do you only drive in the city? I can't see myself NOT speeding when driving on any straight road for more than 2 hours. I'm literally hurting no one.

>"grew up"

You didn't grow up. You gave up.

Everyone knows US speed limits are set artificially low to make up for a lack of safety inspections, driver education, blind and elderly drivers who only have licenses because MUH FREEDOM, and 50 year old shitboxes that do a flip if you stomp on the brakes.

Even the fucking cops know this. Are you driving a late model, non-boiracer car at 10+ over in a straight line? In state plates? Have a nice day, sir.

>But that happens only where they actually care about road safety and not fining people.

I find it hard to believe a place like this exists.

Bait.

Radar detectors protect me from bullshit speed traps that cause accidents from people slamming on their brakes to keep from getting a ticket. You get enough tax money from me to fund your shitty department, fuck off.

>against the law
Do you live in Virginia or some similar hellhole police state?


Also I've been using a V1 and it's various versions and upgrades for 12 years now, shit works great and always has.

The newest Unidens are supposed to be really good too. The one without GPS is only like $300? but supposedly can push V1 ranges and sensitivity.

If you have a fast enough vehicle (aka bike) and a radar detector that's good about falses it can be your signal to get on the gas without having to look in a mirror or try and pick a car out.

>Do you use a radar detector?

Yes.

>What brand have you had the best luck with?

I let a jackass in a BMW pass me and draw all the cops off.

I tired this once and then I got pulled over, since I was at the back of the pack I was following.

They trick is to get other people to speed behind you, then make sure you always stay ahead of them.

I don't see the point of a radar detector anymore when tons of new cars come with radar cruise control right now and the driverless car revolution is happening within the next decade. $500 box that sits on your dash and beeps every time you pass someone going in the opposite direction in a Civic with their cruise control on, no thanks.

>Do you use a radar detector?
No.
>What brand have you had the best luck with?
None.
>What specific detector would you suggest?
None.

Why would I need one?
My car can not reach the speed limit anyway, and nobody on Veeky Forums has actualy driven fast enough to reach it.

Who actualy drives over 250 knots?

>impede the duties of police on the force in protecting society

Outlaw donut shops when?

V1 has a software package on their latest detectors that kills all those damn K band spikes from 2016 shitboxes with lane departure auto safety braking self redildoization distance detecting radar emitters.

This also I'm a v1 user its bitchen i drive 100mph unless it is going off full blast.

i do exactly the speed limit on city streets; only 1-5 mph over on the highway. speeding is retard tier. i cringe at how dumb i was to blow so much money on tickets and insurance premiums when i was young and dumb

How do they work? I bet that using a navigation like Waze would be more useful for the purpose.

This

90km/h limit on highways is stupid when you could be safe going at 130.

What's better? Radar scanner, police scanner, or both?

Been meaning to get a police scanner for a while now.

these are very different things for very different purposes

>1-5 mph over on the highway
that's just faggot tier what are you on your learner's permit? cops will never give you a ticket for going 10 above if you're white
