thread on other forum makes me want to cry

that indeed was really hard to read. I was parked in the school parking lot waiting for class to start and some guy in a subaru was circling around looking for a spot. he had a cobra in his windshield (level but not up high) and my V1 just kept going off. He later tried to tell me his cobra has saved him from tons of cops and it picks up all kinds of signals including Ku. When i explained to him that Ku doesnt even exist here and asked him if he even saw the LEO when he got an alert he got mad and told me the cobra is just as good as my $400 V1. I couldnt stop laughing. Silly cobra users

*edit* even harder to read are the reviews on sites
Cobra XRS 9950 Review

I took a recent 400 mile trip in to West Virginia from Virginia and this unit alerted me several times ... with enough time for me to check my speed and adjust accordingly. I picked up a moving police car coming up on my rear several minutes before the police car caught up with and passed me. So, in my opinion, for the money, it's a good unit. TWO things I do not like: I'd like to have a visor mount and I'd like to have a straight, fairly long power cord. For this reason I give the detector a 4.

why dont they pull him over for using a RD?

This review is from: Cobra XRS 9840 Ultra Performance 12 Band Radar/Laser Detector (Electronics)
I've probably used this for about a year now. Still going strong. Saved my a** more than once. I think cobra makes some the best radar detectors in their price range. This one replaced my old cobra that was about 7 years old. I would say this one gives me about twice the warning time of my older one. It does a better job of picking up the radar signal when i'm approaching the crest of a hill. Highly recommended!

I wonder how surprised they'd be if they used an actual detector with real range.

(just to mention there are some false alarms due to some laser operated automatic doors but it is fine for me,,device reacts device works cobra electronics xrs-9950 12 band radar laser detector)
