Argue all you want there are simply to many instances when these radar detectors simply don't work and you will get nailed.

Ok lets pick your
one review and pull it apart.
-He put them both on with a few feet of each other,
major issue right here. It is known that many detectors can interfere with each other if to close, one reason they are shielded so much on the inside.
-Congrats that he only picked up 2 out of 16 cops he
saw. I can pass over 30 cops on my way home from work and only pick up a signal 10% of the time. Many times because the cop is on his way home or to his outpost wanting to clock out, meaning he is not running anything so he does not have to stop. I had one follow me, I was doing 90 and he got next to me and sped up to get to his outpost.
-Finally he played it "safe" by sticking to 5mph over. Good, if he was keeping with the flow of traffic by the sounds of his review, then the cops probably were not watching him. They were waiting for the guy doing 15+mph over and tag him.
Sorry but your 'nitpicking' reviews to prove your point is worthless. There are countless positive reviews to outweight any negative ones you can produce to prove these do provide a
defense against radar. Is it a perfect system? No, but it gives the driver another level of awareness and in the end that is what is being sold.
