best radar detector

hey guys just wondering what is the best radar detector to get? i kno this is not like cnet or anything but just seeing what other camaro drivers are using (if they are). Im asking because i get a lot of imports who dont care about tickets and want to race wherever and i want to have a safety net so i can laugh at the ricer when he gets pulled over. thnx guys!

You are forgetting one thing though. All the cops that I hang out with don't leave there radar on. They turn it on when they see you, so the detector will not work. Most of the time when you want to street race, you are in the city. Alarms can set them off so you will never know if it's an alarm or a cop. Why even risk it?

thnx for the quik reply! hmm good point im just putting the post up to get feedback. a lot of my friends use them and have great success (ive been in the car with them). But im sure cops are well aware of how to get around detectors. I guess maryland cops are just not as clever as oklahoma cops lol

V1 is my choice, for over the last decade- upgrade-able, so it doesn't become obsolete-

A radar jammer is a microwave transmitter, you would need an FCC license to operate such a device- just as the police are supposed to have. Laser is light, and less regulated- you might be able to trick it if you had a source of infrared light on the front and rear of your car- Either device, if found by the police, would be looked on unfavorably- and there might be some laws about attempting to interfere with a officer doing his job- sort of opening a big can of worms there- Some police may take owning a radar detector as evidence that you are planning to speed, and may give you a ticket instead of a warning, if they see one in the car-
