In some towns (RI), it seems like the cops always have their radar guns on (s. king, gansett, n. king, scituate). In these places, I get plenty of notice of their presence. I have never encountered laser in RI (even the staties still use Ka). There is of course the "false sense of security" that can occurr.
I used to be the rabbit, now I only follow the rabbit (like John said).
I agree, my passport has saved me many tickets over the years. Most cops don't shut their fixed mount radar guns off, ever. So you'll get a lot of false alarms. Poorly adjusted burglar alarms will also give you false alarms. I have the one that differentiates between the K and X bands by the sounds it emits. Easy to tell which is which. Most false alarms come on the K band, the only falsies you'll get on the X band are from police cars that have the radar on for no apparent reason. Most local police depts in RI and CT still use x band radar.
