I think this is where people get the misconception that owning a radar detector means a desire to be a speed freak. For those of us that do/have put a lot of time on the road, they save you from that inadvertant creep up in speed at the same time a cop just happens to be clocking cars in the median.

What's really fun is when I pull over to the middle lane and then watch someone pass me and there's the police car waiting. Sometimes I point to people and they slow down others give me a strange look. The figure it out quickly.

My Escort 9500 does jam lasar. There are even independant studies that show that is has masked the cars speed from point blank range.

And as far as speed estimation, unless a car is going much faster than all others around it then you better have a good way to explain that. Some of us even have dash cameras too albeit mines a cheapy and the audio sucks. Like I said, some of us are tech junkies.
