If you want the best protection possible, get a CB and get on a channel with a lot of trucker traffic. They help each other out by telling each other where the cops are. My cousin was a sales rep for weyerhouser (sp??) and his sales area was from Quebec to Texas. He tried about every radar detector he could get his hands on and still had a bad record. He got a CB and hasn't had one in the last 3 years. It won't help for city driving, but can't be beat on the interstate.
