Radar System - Sped Detector

Anyone running any police scanner support in their vehicles? I am considering getting the 360 Max or the Valentine with a windshield mount. Never had one before. Thoughts? Or experience?

I have been using Passport Max for the last 3 years with no tickets in my M3 and F150. Of course, there have been many occasions where I would have gotten tickets which would have been devastating because my WOT is like 280KM. I highly recommend it.

Valentine is top end.
Some states radar detector are illegal.
Any good hidden detector that can use a remote antenna?
I had a passport.

Valentine and get a professional installation job so you can hide it as much as possible.

I used the Valentine 1, but would really like to find a mirror mount for it rather than suction cups.

Got the ALP radar/laser jammers put in. Much more stealth without some big clunky box stuck on your windshield.

Radar jammer are illegal. I doubt that a non-military jammer would work. They are huge.

Radar jammers are illegal almost everywhere. That is why people often have them professionally discretely installed behind front grills usually. I understand that jammers work great as far as avoiding the speed gun goes.

several states have passed laws that specifically prohibit the use of laser jammers, including: California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia. The legality of laser jammers in Nebraska and Washington, D.C. is disputed.[4]

If you check out the ALP it's sold as a "PDC" (parking distance controller) and after it detects you're being gunned by laser or radar it switches to PDC mode. Loop hole check!
