A cop can tag you with his radar before that even goes off.. there was a thread a while back talking about it where a few LEO's chimed in..

hes talking about a scanner ...not a radar dectector...and my dad just retired 30 years as a police cheif..and yes they can radar you first before most radar dectors go off...but they have a pretty good shot you are there...were a radar detector has a wider band of detecting...a police has to have his radar on you...were a radar de4ctor can be pointed just in that direction
