If you keep real aware, position youself in traffic right, take notes of where you’ve seen cops hiding before, and tail people that you know have radar detectors when possible, you should be golden. ---

This is the one you want. [http://www.dealtime.com/xPO-Escort\_Passport\_8500](http://www.dealtime.com/xPO-Escort_Passport_8500) Saved my ass many times. Highest ratings from many detector testings. The Valentine1(V1) is almost rated as high but I believe it is more expensive. ---
