hey dude! thanks for the advise... Thing is I bought 2 at the same time some time ago, and I gave one to my father. He got caugth, policeman told him he knew he had one, and he had to give it away (after ALOF of bluffing and just before his car was going to be towed heh). You don't lose your license, ''only'' a 600$ fine (no points) and removal of the device. I've got it setup pretty well tho, and I deactivate it as soon as I see a cop or hear a tone.

Now my father is back from florida, and he bought one that cannot be picked up (magnesium cover??). I will do the same in a near future but for now, It's the laser I must protect myself from.

sounds like a sti he got.

This strategy doesn't always work. If a LEO is well hidden and using Spectre, chances are that the LEO is not going to be transmitting radar, since they are actively looking for RD users.
