They have decent scramblers for about 100 for only the scrambler. With most scramblers its a seperate device that you plug into your detector. There are some out that are both though, and those seem to be better, so I've heard. Alot of the brands will pay your ticket if you're going 15 over or 15% over, which ever is the lowest. They don't even lower the speed very much. Only 5 or 6 mph.
And thats not all true. The laser signal could bounce off of a car infront of you and you could detect it before the cop turns it onto you. Its best to have your radar sensor down low for the best laser detections. Most times, though, when you get a laser detection, its too late. I'm glad cops by me just mainly use K/KA band.
A long time ago my parents had a radar detector. They were traveling through Virginia and turned it off and put it on the floor. Somehow it got turned back on, a cop detected that, pulled them over and gave them like a 150 dollar fine for it. They had to search to find the detector too, yet the cop still gave them a ticket.
