I was walking through best buy and I saw radar detectors. the guy there that was supposed to help out didn't know what he was talking about so I decided to ask you guys. Is there a radar detector that'll detect a cop... i mean... emergency vehicle without the radar gun hitting your car? I know the Cobra is a good choice. but which cobra? How do I know that the radar detector will pick up a radar over a hill? I would get false alarms than none at all... Thanks for any help.

The thing you have to remember is that a radar detector does exactly what it's name implies: it detects radar, not cops. I can't tell you how many times i've passed a cop and had someone in the back say "Why didnt ur radar pick him up?"
I agree, if u are going to get one, get a good one like the valentine 1 or the escort passport 8500. If you waste your money on some $50 one from best buy, it will probly pick up the radar signal after you see the cop yourself, rendering it completly useless.
