im seeing gun posts and all sorts of irrelevant crap, so let me just go ahead and say

GUYS THERES NO REASON TO EVER BE DOING 20+ over

the cops around my area are pretty cool, i even had a state trooper on my rear the other night while i was doing 74 in a 55. he let me go

i usually will travel around 15 over, anything more than that is just stupid and dangerous, especially given the areas you might be flying through.

most police want the bigger ticket speeders

I should correct myself from my past posts about the penalty of a jammer. It's a federal offense to have a RADAR jammer in any state in the US. LASER jammers are legal in some states, this is regulated by the FCC.

Depends on the road/car. Most of the time, I agree, 15+PSL is plenty fast. Over in Montana, many country roads are 75MPH, most country roads here are 50MPH, what's the difference? Bureaucratic BS. Speed enforcment is all about the revenue. Sure, I see people everyday that deserve tickets and most of the time it's isn't for speeding.

More misinformation. RADAR is regulated by the FCC. Laser is regulated by the FDA.

Lol, ok. Just make sure you have it on the dash when you get pulled. Matter of fact buy the most expensive one you can find . Having a radar detector or jammer only shows a propensity to speed. They aren't worth it.

Having my whistler has saved me more tickets than I can remember, pickin up cops on the other side of hills, around the bend, etc. Ive been driving for 7+ years and just got my first ticket a few months back (jerk had a laser, only shaved off 2mph, empty country road too). Yes you shouldnt speed but not all of us stare at our dash every second we drive. I see the detector as a reminder to check up, but the best defense is SELF-CONTROL!!!

Jammer heads go in the grill, the cop will never notice them. My radar detector is hidden, from thieves and cops

They won't need consent if they have PC, and they will have the PC. They know your rights better than you do. Sounds like your ignorance wants to find out the hard way so I'll stop trying to help you out of a possible mess that will eventually happen.
