Actually they are very usefull if you pay for a decent model and fully understand how to use it. Read the directions and become familiar with all the bands and funtions and it will save your ass. It's kept me out of **** a few times!

well im considering valentines or passport 8500xt, seemed to be the most reasonably priced for what they do. They also tested best bang for your dollar on a website that tested radar detectors from 300-2000, and proved that radar jammers are a gimmic
