Radar Detectors - What Is The Best One Out There?
#47
The $1200 Passport SRX is old technology that can't detect radar as well as the Valentine one and it is only about 80% effective at jamming laser. You would be better off with a $400 Valentine One and an effective laser jammer like the Laser Interceptor, Laser Pro Park, or Antilaser and it would be cheaper than the outdated Escort SRX.
The $1600 Passport 9500ci is 4 times the price of a new Valentine One and it still can't perform as well as a V1 with an excellent laser jammer like the Laser Interceptor, Laser Pro Park, or Antilaser.

we have the escort 8500's in both cars and we've been very happy with them. we bought them before the 9500's came out. they've saved my butt on more than one occasion. =D

So in California, a laser jammer is a misdemeanor if you have 4 or more units. If you just have 2 units up front then it is only an infraction. Is there anyone who knows the law and punishment who can tell me what the penalty would be if one were to get pulled over for having a laser jammer on their car?

Yeah you have to know how to use the radar protector and not put blind faith into it. I used to average about 2 tickets a year until I got a radar detector. Since I got one about 5 years ago my only ticket has been from an airplane.

Hmm..thats pretty close for him not to have slowed down. Unless you had the radar off most the time.
