Another stupid question...doesn't a radar detector only tell when a cop up ahead has his radar gun out AND CONSTANTLY ON. Isn't it a moot point if he is intelligently picking off cars (or using lidar).....because if you're detecting the radar then, it means he probably just tagged you????

A friend of mine is a state police officer and he 'picks' cars rather than using the radar constant on. I guess if most staties use constant on radar, the detector makes a lot more sense - I am getting a V1 based on the recommendations here.
