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!

Just a few observations:
1) In NJ, highway petrol uses Ka band, never run into a K band
2) All the posted (static) speed signs with radar are K bands, even the mobile ones that they put up on the side of construction zones are mostly K (the exception is when you travel out of state)
3) I have seen non-NJ highway petrol (NH? or Vermont?) use K-band that was my first encounter with true K-band
4) Radar detectors are illegal in edited:VA (you will see posted sign on the freeway when you enter the state) and DC in my local area.
5) The BSM false positive (and other sources of false K like CVS/Target automatic doors) are not really an issue once you adjust the sensitivity using the Vortex Radar suggested settings.
Once you use it for a while you learn to trust your instincts.
I use it in conjunction with Waze, you have to remember "crowd sourced reporting" means someone drove ahead of you on the same road (or on the opposite side) that you are currently on, spotted the highway petrol and was kind enough to REPORT IT on Waze, If it was not reported on Waze then from a Waze POV, it does not exist. I was not so lucky a few years ago when I relied on Waze alone, hence the radar detector.
Finally, my vehicles have adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist. I do not drive like Max Verstappen on freeways, it is a sensible tool along with common sense if you would like to drive safely and efficiently.

Never seen a local NJ cop with an X band in NJ, all Ka band around me.
Seems this could pay for more than a few speeding tickets anyway.
Doesn't seem worth it to me.
At that point, radar detectors are not relevant...
better to just go pl@teless like "wheres981."

down reckless criminal speeders and get paid for it - and get more money for higher speeds.
A device that records video, along with speed... and relays info to nearby police.
Eventually speeding won't be possible anywhere, as technology advances and
more advanced automatic speed traps are deployed... so enjoy it while you can!
