How have you determined the tester's connection to the industry? And if someone's going to say that there's no independent testing to say they work, the inverse is true as well. There's no independent testing to say they don't. The only conclusion you could come up with is "inconclusive". So then we have to resort to anecdotal information. While not being ideal, with a large enough sample size, bad data gets diluted enough to make a reasonable estimate of how well they work. And here, the numbers lean solidly towards the devices work.

These guys put together a fairly extensive laser test Radar Detector Tests and Reviews by Guys of LIDAR - LASER

Nothing is going to be a true controlled test. It's an expensive endeavor. The best we have is the radar detector forums. The vast majority of users seem to have good experiences with them.
