If you're in CA - you're allowed to submit what's called a trial by declaration to fight your ticket. Essentially, you submit your version of events to the judge, who notifies the officer to do the same - and then the judge reviews both declarations from you and the officer and makes a final decision.

This works in getting your ticket dismissed more often if you follow a couple of steps. First, make sure you make your traffic stops is not a memorable one for the officer - keys on dash, sunglasses/hat off, hands on wheel, windows down, "good morning/afternoon/night officer... yes officer, no officer," etc... do not fight him/her on anything and just sign for the ticket and go about your day. 2 weeks before your court date - extend your ticket/push court date out (you can initially push it 3 months). 2 weeks before your new court date, CALL the courthouse and make up an excuse why you can't make it for your court date (surprise work trip, family member sick, etc...) The court clerk will ask you what's the next best date for you - try to push it out another 3 months. Now you're 6 months out from your initial court date - start working on your trial by dec. and make sure the court receives it 2 weeks before your court date. Now this extends the process by about another month, as now the judge will ask the officer to respond and will give him/her 30 days to do so. However, so much time has now passed that the cop won't care about sticking it to you/taking the time out of his/her busy day to write a response - you were not a dick, you were not memorable, and it's whatever. So most likely the judge will dismiss your ticket. If the judge does not dismiss and rules in favor of the officer if they did reply - then you have an option to ask for a trial de novo - an in person trial - and you and the officer both have to go in. Hopefully in that case, so much time has now passed that the officer will most likely not show up, and if he does, then judge will rule in their favor and you can ask for a reduced fine/traffic school to reduce the severity of whatever consequence you may face. Lots of info on this online. I've gotten 8 of mine dismissed and 5 of my friends/family members' tickets here in LA county. Good luck!

A speeding ticket will run you $250-300 in fines and then your insurance will shoot up for 3 years too.

Got a open box r7 on amazon for 315plus tax
How many years ago? CCC is not showing that price for the last 2-3 years. There is a likely fake dip at the end of 2022.

Quote from oedo808 :
Nice, I upgraded from an Escort Passport max to a uniden r8 over the summer for $699 no tax. No regrets, it's been the best radar experience I've had and I'm still not done applying recommended changes from the forums. Highway Radar blows escort live out of the water.

Also, get the blend mount and power cord taps. I had an aftermarket cheaper mirror mount with the escort and feel the blend mount is worth the premium. With a Ford, not having to manually power the radar detector on and off with an always hot 12v outlet is so convenient.
Any idea how this (or even the 360 max) is compared to escort 9500ix? I think last I read, 2-3 years back, the 9500ix still did quite well compared to the newer stuff.

I feel like I'm still comparing it to like sub $100 detectors, so it seems pretty great, but also could be much better.

R7 paired with waze on the headunit is the combo. Blackbox reviews said it's not much of an upgrade to r8 from r7 so I'll hold off. Had since the ~$350 deal a couple years ago or so.

Do they have an app for the Bluetooth now? I remember originally they didn't

What can you do with the app?

Can you run the app on Android auto?
The Bluetooth was activated via a recent update. Highway Radar is the only app that currently works with it, I think jbv1 was working on integration. I don't think it works with Android auto yet, but was being worked on...

I currently have an R3 which has shockingly long range. I used to be an Escort/Beltronics weenie, then I switched to the Radenso Pro Series (the 1st Gen) & then to an XP.
Don't think I'll consider anything else after using my Radenso DS1 for a while.

Waze is great, run it all the time, but it's no guarantee. Esp if a trap is just setup, you can alert people that you got pulled over and got a ticket at this point.
