"Instant On" police radar has been a problem for many years. Defeating it falls under the category of knowing how to use a radar detector. Cops have been triggering these things for more than a decade. No defense against that on a long open stretch at night. You gotta hope they fire at someone close enough in front of you that you can pick up the signal before you're in practical range.

Gotcha. Im in CT so I would assume they do the same thing, which may explain why sometimes mine goes full alert out of nowhere and then stops??
