Radar detector questions (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by HumanPerson@sh.itjust.works to c/cars@lemmy.world
 

I'm deciding between the Uniden r3 and r7. I would prefer to spend less, but arrows seem like a nice feature to have. Also, I want to get the factory refurbished ones from Uniden's website and would like to know if that's a good idea. Also, for those who have been caught speeding with a radar detector, are cops less likely to go easy on you if you have one?

Edit: for those wondering I ordered a recertified r7.

If you can tint your windows then they won't see you discreetly take the detector down if they pull you over, I did that a couple times years ago and never got called out
