Someone Please Tell Me!!!!!!!
Someone please tell me why my radar detector wouldnt go off if a cop was running radar? Because my Pro RX65 didnt go off, I got a ticket, 84 in a 65. I'm not really complaining about the ticket, its the fact that my radar detector didnt make a single sound. The cop was using a Kustom unit. He showed me my speed. The cop was cool about it! He even let me mess with my radar detector, cause I told him I had one but that it didnt make a sound. Then of course he gave me the line "you should have spend your money on something better." But, he turned it on for me again, and my detector still wouldnt go off. He even caught someones speed to show me it was on. But my detector wouldnt make a sound. But, for some reason when I went back to my car, it was going off. I dont know. I'm really pissed off that my radar detector didnt go off. Someone please explain to me why it wouldnt go off? What could be the problem? I asked when his unit had been checked to be working properly, he said earlier that day. I just dont know, I'm just really pissed off about my radar detector. Suppoedly the 2 best radar detector and it dont even make a sound. It just makes me so mad!!!!!!!

well unfortantly there is
Well unfortantly there is one thing you could do. Not be the rabbit and get one. This is all to common of a mistake detector users make. They go to their local walmart get a crapra and get out front thinking, "I have a radar detector im ok." Not realizing what they just said its a "radar detector" not a "Law Enforcement Detector." Then as you stated they find themselves in a world of hurt. There is more to operating a radar detector than the detector itself. You need to be constantly scanning with your eyes they will save you more often than your detector. The detector is merely backup for what your eyes don't see. The user also has to have common sense. Being out front is asking for a Leo knocking on your window saying the famous words "do you know how fast you where going?" A rabbit is first and formost a must in any detector usage! Especially now days that they have instant-on and pop radar. Who knows if you keep eyes open you might even spot camera enforcement, or even a lidar trap but those things are luck.
