Is the Valentine One Radar detector any good?
Valentine One uses front and rear antennas reporting to an onboard computer to analyze and precisely locate every radar threat, either by direct reception from one antenna or triangulation between both antennas.
Ordinary Radar Detectors have a single antenna facing forward: to cover beside and behind your car, they hope radar will take a lucky bounce into the front opening.
Some detectors will jam a police officer's laser gun he is using to clock speeds of motorists. This type of detector is illegal. In the USA, it is illegal to sell or possess any such products that do transmit radar signals intended to jam radar equipment. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) banned the sale and use of radar jammers in December of 1997. This law covers both active and passive radar jammers. If the FCC finds that you willfully and repeatedly interfere with radio signals by using a radar jammer, you could pay as much as $11,000 for each violation (up to a total of $75,000) and/or you could be sent to jail.
Keep in mind that these scanners/detectors are illegal in some states including Virginia.
