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!

R3 still a solid option too.

I do have some regret for missing out on the very short-lived double dip where they lowered the price to $550 AND had the coupon.
Cop is running radar late at night. He is in position with his radar unit off (that's what most do when truly trying to catch speeders). A vehicle pops over the hill doing the speed limit. Officers can tell he's not speeding so he keeps his radar turned off.
A few seconds later another car comes flying over the hill (his detector has never warned him of anything because radar is still turned off). Officer sees vehicle and KNOWS that he is speeding. Officer turns on his vehicle radar unit by a remote and immediately gets your speed. At the same exact time, the radar detector suddenly goes off that radar is nearby.
Ticket.
Police officers in my area leave their KA running constantly. If they are QT/IO'ing people, it ain't gonna be on the roads I drive on. And POP tickets don't fly in court. Moot since I don't have one anymore but I do miss my RD for speed traps alone. Texas has a lot of towns where speed limit drops VERY quickly.
is there any lawful purpose to these devices if you don't illegally speed?
Same with work zones, typically my V1 Gen 1 will pick up parked state police with their radars on, well before I see an active work zone.

I have the Valentine 1 Gen 1, the last release before they switched to the Gen 2, so its a bit dated at this point, but still filters very well. I believe newer models maintain good filtering but now have increased range/response time to real hits while actively filtering out the noise.
