People saying this tech is just for speeding are wrong. I have a high end model that's legal in california (radar detection is legal, although cops will hassle you and say it isn't - any unit with a jammer installed is illegal whether you're using the jamming or not. They don't really seem to know the difference, so beware).
I drive reasonable speeds but have a loud car that will get pulled over for "noise" (it's unmodified and legal) which are usually just fishing expeditions. Since police cruisers in my state usually emit radar signals constantly, the detector basically gives me a heads up when a cop is within ~ 0.5 miles of me, which I find useful whether I am speeding or not. Limiting my interactions with police is a worthy goal, since police can be dangerous and unpredictable and shoot-y.

I'm curious about what car you drive. My previous car was 100% stock, but would wake up the whole neighborhood on cold mornings. I never got pulled over for noise, but I did purchase my first V1 for it after being cited in a speed trap just two months after I bought the car.

A dodge hellcat. It is loud, but it is legal.
