Depends on how you use it mang.

see thats what i wanted to hear because i dont even want to spend over 100$ so i just going to do some research on some cheap brands.

Yeah homie. You don't need a ricockulously expensive one, its all relative on use. If you are a constant street racer then you need an expensive one, if it's for a dd, then get a cheapy lol.

lol honestly its not worth it, cops can pull u over for speeding without the radar gun, they dont always have the gun and thats wat the detectors pick up on. and if u take it to court nd say the cop didnt have the gun, the cops been trained to tell what speed cars are going at by sight or at least in comparison to other cars on the same road lol so no not worth it

I got a $150 one at walmart it was open so it was on sale for like
$95 its helped out a few times butcops in illinois have instant on they
Can set there radarr to turn on when a car aproches so mine goes from
0 to 5 in a half second
But if im following someone the cop radars them first i get to slow down.
It works great on the interstate because the cops usually leave there radar on.
but like everyone says if they use laser ur sol

i have a radar detector. bell rx65 and the thing is beast. in good conditions it picks up a cop from a mile or two away. yes, its not bulletproof (laser, pop and other), but it saved me from tons of tickets.
