Ok so i dont have anything yet. Got nailed for going 88 in a 55 a month ago so now im interested. In PA only state troopers can use radar, and Ill be doing most of my driving on highways such as 95, 276, and 476.
From the information Ive seen on here, none of the PA LEO's are using laser yet. So am i safe without it? Also how does I/O work? Can the V1 protect against this?

Only Philadelphia PD can use laser from what I've been told. Everywhere else is ENRADD and VASCAR. State Police use radar. Search the terms. Yes, the V1 is good at detecting I/O, but you should always have a rabbit or traffic in sight so the detector can catch the signal before he catches you. I/O is when the cop leaves his Radar in Hold mode, then when sees a vehicle approaching turns the radar on and gets a speed reading.

So the only way for the RD to detect I/O is if the cop hits somebody else first?

Right. I'm not sure how much I/O in PA, but I doubt there is a lot. You go to Texas or North Carolina that's all the cops use pretty much.

There are no laser guns on The List of Approved Speed Timing Devices so no one can use them (PA Bulletin, Doc. No. 09-2387).
Good find, that's awesome. Well there you have it, no laser used in PA. I wonder how anyone gets a speeding ticket in PA. Sounds like you can really hammer down in that state. I've only driven through it 10 times or so and I was going pretty fast. I have yet to run into a state trooper taking radar there, I've seen a few people pulled over though.

IO + hill = owned.
Unfamiliar territory + VASCAR at night = owned.
I think I would actually welcome laser because it can be "transponded".

I would. Instead of wondering why you are being pulled over. At least if you get hit with a laser or radar alert you know what to expect if you get stopped.
