Here in California, cops all use laser to detect your speed. So they're practically invisible until they point at you and pull the trigger. Are people buying radar detectors because their local law enforcement use regular radar instead of laser to clock speed? And hence, they have a chance to slow down in time?
well if they are using laser they will get your speed right away but if you have a detector you might catch the beam from when they shoot the car in front of you.... if you are the only around in the road, you are screwed unless you have a laser jammer in which case they will hit your car and get no reading :-D

jammers are illegal in some states but they are not in WA
