I live and die by my escort 8500, it is a bit over your price range though. I've had it for I think 2 maybe 3 years and I have not received a speeding ticket yet. I usualy go about 15-20 over pretty much all the time. It has warned me about 10 good times were I would have received a ticket.
check it out here
I didn't want to funk around with cheaper ones. They give a lot of false detections and that is annoying cause you get them confused with real ones. but I think my step bro uses a Bel and they are decent. |

Dont bother with one
Laser radar will be on your car for less then one second then 'boom'
your cought .. you detector will tell you that you have been cought rather then prevent it.
..why do you need to drive fast anyway?
cruz it man .. so the chix can at least see who is behind the wheel :crazy: |

| if cops notice a sudden change in speed as they clock them, they have the right to pull u over, search ur car for a detector, and have u put under arrest if it's illegal in that state to own one. well, that's what i saw in the latest Mischief Destory dvd |

not many cops bother with laser, at least the majority of them that I have seen. I've been nialed by laser a few times but I have never been pulled over afterwards. You'd be surprised to see how many cops just ride around with their radars on all the time. I love them.
plus this is not just for highway I am assuming, I use mine even if I am going to the corner store lol. |

worth the money. great range and very accurate.
i used to have some ty cobra one. would only work by time that you see the cop. was very ty. it saved my ass twice but i was lucky and had a quick foot on the gas.
and i think radar detectors are only illigal in west virginia and illinois |
