almost all my BMW customers have the valentine 1 that has to mean something besides they have alot of money.... it has the best reputation
but nothing will keep you from getting a ticket with the newest technology unless you run a jammer . the new instant on technology once your detector sees it the officer already has a reading of your speed... they are using it in my town now and there is no warning cus its only one once he has you in his sight and pulls the trigger.
with this system they like to use your front plate as a reflector but driving without it your lookin to get pulled over too.

The fact remains that none of the other units have directional arrows or bogey counters. On a trip to Oregon last weekend both of these two features saved my *** bigtime.
I'm crusing merrily along at 75 when I get a Ka chirp. A mile or more down the road, a Camaro CHP had a car pulled over... By the time I get next to them, the detector is screaming off the charts.... now normally, with other detectors, you'd mute it and figure the coast was clear.... right? RIGHT?
Less than 1 mile down the road, hiding under an overpass, there was ANOTHER CHP tagging traffic in my direction! But.... heh heh heh... I knew this ahead of time. My bogey counter said I had 2 radar sources, one behind me and one *still up ahead*.
Booya!
Valentine 1 for the win.
