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!

- The cop was using laser. Radar detectors are not really equipped to pick up laser and if they did it is too late anyway. For laser you can either invest the money on a laser jammer if legal in your area or run waze since laser is always stationary.
- cop was using a band you have turned off.
- cop was using an out of tune gun. Or a gun with a frequency you have filtered out
- cop paced you. Basically drove behind you and matched your speed
- cop is lying, estimated your speed by eye and went for it.
Your ticket is you still have it should have some information on how he got you. Buying the radar detector is the easy part but learning how it works, how to set it up correctly, and what are its shortcomings is the more involved one.
edit: just wanted to add that your unit may have been defective (you should notice that it is weirdly quite all the time though) or just f-ed up and froze that one time just like any other piece of technology.
How effective is this unit against LIDAR?

The R8 will support the uniden laser jammer when they finally release it.
