sorry…i was browsing but i figure for all the effort to listen to everything the cops say as compared with a properly used radar detector that the detector is an obvious choice ---

both have advantages, but the cops aren’t exactley “chatty-cathy’s” announcing they’re every move on the radio. It would be better to hack their GPS, and set it up in car (i’ve seen they’re set-up first hand {not only from the backseat, but in presentations too}) They’re(GRPS) GPS shows the city map and squad cars (orientation/speed) wereabouts. ---

i agree , just get the same thing the Tow truck drivers got , Their the First to hear calls on the system when i crashed on the highway … the tow truck driver showed up in few mins after the cop showed up. He later told me that he heard that some1 had crashed on the highway . and sped to the scence before another tow truck driver takes the car.
