I know they can be pointless to have, but not always. In my situation, I wouldn't have gotten this last ticket had I had one. The cop was sitting there w/ his radar gun thingy ma bobber on. My friend who I was trying to catch up to has that $100 Cobra one and his sucks yet went off and saved him. If a $400 Valentine detector isnt' going to be enough, and you think I should spend $500 or more on one, why don't I just start saving my money, buy night vision goggles and only race at night w/ my lights off and the goggles on!?!?! that way even if they do pick something up going 64 in a 40, they sure as hell wont' see it, hehe.
