    I've been known to, especially after getting a new RD.

    Of course, for basic testing, you don't need a LEO at all, just find a drugstore. They all spew K band, at least around here anyway.

    I've never had any luck finding a laser trap when I've wanted to though.
    If I'm passing you on the right, YOU are in the wrong lane!

    If speed kills, how come I'm still alive?

    I've tested my RD at a store parking lots, but that just doesn't excite me. When I get a alert on trapster near me I go to it immediately in hopes of seeing it work against a cop lol.

    Search "Speedtrap crashing" Many of us have purchased our own radar and lidar guns to do our own testing as well.

    I'm obsessed with hunting down automatic door openers and false sources so I can lock them out on my ne 9500ix. I DO NOT have any interest in looking for LEOs. But I am glad my quiet detector alerts to them, and not the falses!

    Never had to go looking for the LEOs around here.

    Come to NY and drive on 87 or 90 for more than 20 minutes and you shall find what you seek, and in another 20 minutes you will see another.

    All the time. I love testing out my radar detectors. For example, I've hit this particular speed traps several times:

    Never gets old. Sometimes, if I see a LEO in front of me, I'll video him and wait till he does something:
