I have an older cobra model and I have the same experience with it. The radar works excelent but the lazer sucks. Dosent matter here though 95% of the po use radar and not lazer. I got it for christmas, it cost maybe $100 but has saved my ass more times than I can even count. I was racing a corrado last week and we were coming up over a hill and it went off, I rammed on my brakes and he flew up over the hill. When I crested the hill he was pulled over getting a ticket. So just that one time it payed for its self.........I hear wreckless/racing tickets arnt cheep

Im sure SOME emergency vehicles may have a "light changer" (for lack of better term) in them but i dont think they are prevalent. I havent seen one yet and i dont know any Po-Po vehicles here in Florida with them.

Light changer???? never heard of anything like that. I'm an EMT and never saw one of those.

They are real just some cities/states approve or dont approve of them for various different reasons just depends where you are.

I always just flash my brights really fast on and off at lights and they change immidiately, its illegal as ---- though. Oh and the bad thing about even the top o the line radar detectors is that the cops need to gun someone in front of you for them to work. So if your allllll by yourself on some desolate road and the cop isnt shooting anyone else, you want have any warning till he nails you.

i have a rocky mountain radar dectector and the deflector. they both work really good, i can tell that the phaze II (deflector) works cuz the cops always have a stupid look on their faces and start checking their eqeiptment when i go by them. the bad part is last spring i got cocky and was hauling ass from pullman to spokane and their was a cop on the side of the road waving me over, i thought no way he could have gotten me. he listed off a bunch of spots that i was speeding and said that an aircraft had been following from colfax. he could only get me for one of them and just went with the slowest of the numbers. i never filled out the regristration form for the phaze II so they wouldnt pay the ticket.
