so i was using my friend's laser detector for fun
it starts beeping, i slow down
cop pulls me over, tells me to hand me over the detector or he will put me in jail and impound my car and search every inch of it.
i said, "um...no"
he says, "this isn't the US. Officers in Canada do not need a reason to put people in jail or search through public property"
*shows me Section 53.457A-4 of some law book*
me, "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"
ya, radar detectors are very illegal where i live.
i got a $300 ticket and i'm losing my license for 6 months

true story, you can lol if you wish haha

that sucks, and prolly wasnt worth it..

hands down....valentine one is the best way to go...never had problems with it at all...always true to detecting CHP(s)

i love my detector going 65 in a 55..it goes off...u ease on the brakes and smile at the cop as u see him in the bushes

Valentine 1 , here's why:

1st day I got mine, I didn't get 5 miles when it went off indicating definite radar ahead of me. little bit further, there was a police car with someone pulled over. so far so good, as I passed him I expected the directional arrows to switch to rear, it didn't. still indicating ahead. as I am thinking "what a piece of *&^(%,, I see a 2nd police car another half mile ahead in the median... the directional indicators are worth every penny. Had my V1 for at least 8 years now, sent it in once for updates.

Had the Valentine One for a while I love it and am most likely going to get another it was my brothers and he was letting me use it but he wanted to sell it so thats why I dont have it anymore but its amazing if you have the extra money to spend id recommend it

Why can't they dectect laser?

On all three of my tickets they were all done by laser guns... I'd like to get one but it isn't worth it to me if they can't detect laser guns...

any help?

correct me if im wrong, but V1 does detect lasers....

i'm bringing this back for an opinion. i'm thinking about getting a cheap detector for a bit of protection on the highway. i'd love a v1 but cant afford one at this time.

What do you all think of this model? The Whistler XTR-220... at the cheapest price I could find on the internet (under $50) Yet has pop mode. thoughts?

I have an older model of a Whistler radar/laser detector. My dad has a beltronics 940. I'd definitely advise you to get something besides whistler, i dont know if they've improved from the one i have, but i can see cops before this thing goes off, no lie.

My dads beltronics on the other hand, picks them up from wayyyyyyyy far.

I realize that the cheapest beltronics is $100 more than you wanna spend but, you get what you pay for.

they can...even my crappy little cobra can dectect laser

it may be too late when it does...but it can, haha
