Valentine 1 Radar detector.


Question Posted Tuesday June 19 2007, 12:19 am

I want to get my boyfriend a Valentine 1 radar detector, but I don't know if it's worth the money. Do they actually pay for a speeding ticket if you get one? and how reliable is it? I want to hear from people who have experience with this detector, not a website explaining how it works. The only websites I would actually take time going to are ones that have reviews on them. So, help?

Additional info, added Tuesday June 19 2007, 3:19 pm:
I live in Texas, but I don't know if it's illegal or not. My brother has gotten pulled over a couple of times and he has a radar detector, but they didn't give him a ticket for it..

Unfortunately a lot of police and highway patrol forces are moving to a temporary radar beam and LIDAR. your radar detector will not track LIDAR and with the temporary radar beam either the cop got someone else or its too late. If it goes off and the cop was checking you. Its too late

They are worth the money, but like the first person said..if it's illegal in your state, you will get a ticket for having the radar detector.

My family just bought one, and it depends on where you buy one from. If you just kinda shop around for it you'll find one. Look on the boxes, some guarantee that they will pay for the ticket and if you get caught, they will also pay for traffic school. They are reliable and whenever the scanner hits it, it goes off.

Also, part of the comment below mine is false. Cops cannot give you a ticket for having the detector in your car.

Hope I helped:)

A couple of my friends have them, and they are illegal. Atleast they are in the state of Illinois. So, if you get pulled over for speeding, you get a ticket for that, and a ticket for having a radar detector. But chances are you'll reduce speed before the cop can clock you, so in that case, it's worth it. About them paying for the speeding ticket, I'm not sure. But I highly doubt it.
