Page 2 - Many ChoicesConfused? There are big detectors, small detectors, expensive detectors, and cheap detectors, some have LED displays and others have LCD. Some come with cords, some without, others mount on the dash, some behind the grill. The choices are countless and sometimes confusing. Radar Roy's Years of Experience As a retired police officer and a certified traffic radar instructor, I was involved in the speed countermeasure industry for over 10 years. My priority is to help you select the best radar detector and/or laser jammer for your budget and also help you understand the many features that are a must in your selection. What you MUST Know! First, you must understand the purpose of a radar detector. Regardless of the manufacturer's claims, it is to protect you from getting a deserved or undeserved speeding ticket from a police officer using a radar gun. Regardless of the manufactures sometimes false claims, radar detectors are not very effective at all in protecting you against a police laser gun. Also new users of detectors have to understand that radar detectors are not “cop car” detectors.
Over 15 Million Tickets Issued Per Year! Over 15 million radar speeding tickets are issued annually and one of them might be yours. To begin, we first want to look at the history of radar and laser enforcement so you will have a better understanding of how radar and laser works. |

Just because you see a police car parked on the side of the road or driving behind you and you’re detector does not alert, doesn’t mean that it’s broken. Perhaps the officer doesn’t have a radar gun or if he does, perhaps it’s turned off.
