nono, i wasnt trying to be a dick. it just doesnt make sense to me why you wouldn't get one.
there are no radar detectors that can hide from cops now. they now used a revised system yanked from the military from the mid-90's. my buddy is aux-OPP. VG-2 is bullshit as is the generation after them, the cops are now using leftover military hardware. in a pack of 10 cars who are all tailgating and travelling at 130, an OPP on the side of the road can pick out the exact car that has the detector as they go by. so if its the 3rd car in line, their detector detector is accurate enough to pinpoint exactly what car
radar detectors in general are like batteries. you can buy duracell versus no-name but the difference is miniscule.
the massively expensive brands may have a slightly better return rate but honestly........... radar, radar detectors and crystal wave radio technology has been around since 1940. there haven't been any massive improvements lately, get what i'm saying?
from low to mid priced detectors i would say the difference is warantee and build quality..... detection range will not noticably differ. they all use the same crystals from the same supplier.
the reason the valentine and ones like it are more expensive are because of the other shit they throw in the package, like direction finding, compases, voice recognition, stereo integration and all that shit.
actual radar detection technology is the same old shit since 60 years ago.
if they pull you over for having the detector you just put it in your back pocket. they aren't allowed to search your person unless you are being arrested. me and friends do it all the time. if the cop sees it on your windshield, thats a different thing, thats happened to me too. i just got back from the states and it was still on the dash in plain sight and the cop came over and grabbed it out of my car while i was beside him at a light.
