    Sure. Anything can be used against you. If you even have an attitude it will be used against you.

    But I don't go to court...my attorney does.

    Look for a known K or X band auto door opener that you're familiar with. Check the distance and location at which your V1 will alert to these bands specially after tune up and make a mark. Over time, electronics get out of tune and V1's weakness is heat. I always point one of my air vents to where I mount my V1. If your V1 is not in use, put it in the glove box. This will lengthen the life of your V1. In my case, I use real police radar if I need to. I bought my V1 in 2005 and was upgraded to version 3.826. So I'm in it's 2 year period right now. Every 4-5 years to retune it is not bad at all. I Had bought a 3.813 before and it was out of tune. Detection distance was aweful and knew right away it was out of tune. Had to go to VR for retuning.

    I've had the same experience. As my v1s have aged, their performance has become temperature dependant. Too bad the suction cups like it hot.
