I have a Beltronics Vector 995. $300 bucks at circuit city, it is a laser/radar detector and it DOES detect laser. Been warned on laser trap twice already. Its very sensitive without many false warnings.

LOL a cop can still pace you. But either that or the Escort X-50 is a good choice also.

Yeah, a black Impala creeped up on me the Monday and turned on the blue light for me. He then pulled beside me and gave me the "down boy" wave. Lucky me, I was 85+ in a 60 zone.
