I was driving down a Maryland road today listening to very loud music. Bel 940 low mount on the windshield. Driving a little over the speed limit, wasn't using a rabbit but I was not the first car. Look over to a cubby spot of a high school where officers normally park to catch speeders and what do you know, LEO parked in the cubby hole facing same direction with all lights off. It was dark so I almost missed him entirely. Look down at the 940 and see it lit up. Appears the 940 had been warning me of K band with almost all bands lit up but I could not hear the detector over the music. No faulty speaker on the detector, just powerful SUV speaker music drowning out the detector's warning sound . Had I not been attentive enough to have been looking for a LEO and not 100% trusting the detector only, I could have been owned and it would have been totally my fault and not that of the detector. Goes without saying, whatever detector or countermeasures an individual has on their car, and no matter how expensive the equipment, the individual still has to pay attention to the warning signals given by the equipment and take proactive action.
As has been mentioned many times on this forum, there's no substitute for remaining attentive and using your eyes. Sometimes the eyes may be the only thing that saves you from a ticket. At least for me, today, the eyes have it!
