    For safety reasons some of us like advanced notice when others will be slamming on their brakes to avoid a ticket.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

    All of this radar detector talk makes me wonder one thing. Why hasn't anybody come up with a device that detects the radio waves from the police cars and plot them on a map via GPS on a smartphone? Police radios are always broadcasting between 37 and 38MHz over the airwaves. Contrast that to a police radar which is not always powered on. It could accurately judge the distance of a patrol car in accordance with the signal strength the receiver is detecting. Sort of like war driving for police cars.

    Get on it and let us know when it's ready for sale. Maybe start a kickstarter campaign. You may be on to something.
