Unfortunately, citations issued in one jurisdiction must be answered in the same jurisdiction, or paid as guilty. That sucks but it's the system. Hate to say it but even a Valentine 1 won't help with the latest radar if the cop wants to hit you when he sees you if he doesn't try to nail someone else first. The first "beep" you hear is the only one you hear and that's your money being sucked out of your wallet.

The best detectors work great IF the cop is trying to nail others and your detector is triggered by those signals BRFORE he actually traps you. Otherwise it's too late. Was enroute to Washington State and cruising at 85 when i went under a bridge and there sat the CHP...luckily he must have been waiting with his rear antenna and been checking the other way! Never a sound or anything. Then I heard a warning and saw his lights go on and he took off south. Lucky day!

Also lucky that the BMW speedos are off by about +4 mph as a rule......maybe that helps some of us?
