i dunno about that particular one, but really, the best thing you can do is watch your speed.  i know it sounds corny, but that is the safest route.  i have a radar detector, and sometimes cops in the area will be tricky, and turn on their radar as you are coming up on them, with no time to slow down.  and if you get pulled, and the radar is sitting on the dash..no way you are getting out of the ticket.  :P

^^Yup watch your speed, its safer for you, its safer for me driving by you, and with gas ripping us off you get better gas mileage.

Sorry,
Matthew

I use one because I travel a lot...and its kind of nice to be able to cruise 5-10 over and not have to worry about some a-hole police officer writing you for 10 over...in the south they will...and it works great...btw its a cobra something...something...lol i cant remember the exact name but cobra makes a quality product

yea these were exactly my thoughts, but i beleive i was wathcing Whipnotic latenight on Fox, and they were reveiwing the new Austin martin DBZ or somethign like that, and they had a radar jammer as an option at on of the dealerships. So i dont think we can really get a jammer that actually works unless we pay upwards of like 5k. Sux to be middle class :[ lol

Escort Passport 8500. it will go off before you even see the cop.  $350 though, definitely worth every penny.

yes, unless the cops are tricky, on a dark road.  a cop was hiding in the cut, i didnt see it, the radar picked up nothing.....as soon as i passed them, they radared me, got the reading, and pulled me over.  fortunately, i yanked my detector off the dash in time to save the day, and since i was only going 10 over or so, she just gave me a warning.  point is, i got lucky, and no device is fool proof.  it is all about comsumerssss.  weve got what you neeeeeeed, there stuff ius junk, buy this now for this speciual low priiiiiiiice, and you ARE GOOD!   bling bling they got their money their job is done.

whew...ambien
