Buy a Valentine One, it's the best one out there. The only downside is that it costs $400, well worth it if you got a heavy foot. You also have to buy direct from the company. I've had shi##y Cobra's before and their is no comparison. Check out their website.

Anything you buy at bestbuy is going to be a POS. There are radar detectors and there are valentine one's. I've had mine since 1996 and its served me well. Even the Valentine 1 is just a tool, drive like a dumbass or find a good cop and you are toast. How did you get your ticket, would a radar detector have prevented it?

A radar detector is not a police car detector. If he was following you, he was PACING you. Unless he had the gun on, you wouldn't have picked anything up. Most cops do not run around with their radar guns on. Radar detectors are useless in situations such as yours. Maybe next time you decide to push it, you look around and make sure you have your bases covered.
