    Also, I believe we've seen videos of California cops using the XLR not too long ago too. K40's aren't updatable, range isn't as good, and jamming is garbage.

    ALP for jammers, V1+YaV1, Redline, 9500ci, or STI-R+.

    Talk to @BestRadarDetectors and he'll get you a good deal on a setup.

    Don't forget that this state is a HEAVY Truspeed S user, and we know that gun has gone all VPR on us!

    Good point. I wouldn't be surprised if the K40s alert, but are basically IPT (instant punchthrough), against the VPR TruSpeed S guns.

    Honestly, I think the reason cops never get suspicious of K40 users, despite the fact that there isn't an easy way to kill them once you slow to the PSL, is that K40s don't jam worth crap in the first place. The cops are probably getting speed readings off of all these cars with K40s in them and the drivers just aren't going fast enough for the cops to stop them. sfscott: Remember, if a cop measures you doing 80 mph on Interstate 280 between CA-85 and I-380, and your K40 "jammer" goes off and you slow down to the PSL, this does NOT count as a "save". Cops generally don't stop people on that freeway unless they're doing at least 85, and most of the people who get stopped are probably around or over 90. But I'll bet that most of the exotic car owners with K40s in them count those encounters as "saves" because they have no idea that the cop got their speed, and just decided they weren't going fast enough and to wait for a bigger fish. I think exotic car owners tend to test their car's capabilities a few times, then drive like my grandparents whenever they take their cars out.

    In the unlikely event they get a ticket while testing their car's capabilities, well that's why K40 pays for LIDAR tickets: to keep those people happy. But they don't pay for the insurance hikes that come with the ticket (not that the super wealthy care about that though, as that only happens if the traffic court lawyer they hired fails to get it dismissed).
