I had a Whistler radar detector before my car got broken into... it worked for me! When driving from Humboldt to Sacramento or visa-versa there are alot of curvy fun roads, and I-5 is just one big flat strip.
I detected cops around corners and miles down a straight road. The only time I got a ticket with it was at the very top of a hill when a cop was comming from the other direction... nothing to reflect off of in the sky, so the detector didn't see him. I was going as fast as the other cars on the road, but I was in the passing lane so I got fucked.
I've never seen laser show up on my detector... and I'm sure glad.

I'm in the market for a new one so I've been looking at the above site. Very informative

But one thing thats better than a radar detector is a police radio scanner!
