when I was a kid I remmeber my uncle (RIP) he had a little radio that when ever a police car is near you where able to hear them from a center mile.

can anyone help me get one of those because everytime i searh all I get is police radars so you could scramble the gun.

 

anyone???????

 

they are all garbage, imo by the time is detects the cop already has spotted you.

 

really? whoa....are they all the same no matter what bran???

 

Umm no, a radar detector picks up the radar waves that are reflecting off of nearby objects long before you see the cop car

i <3 my s2

 

so they work?? should i get one??

 

I think he meant a scanner, not a radar detector...

 

Yep, scanner, sometimes called 'police scanner'.

They're pretty common and easy to get, radio shack sells a nice handheld one I'm going to get in the next few weeks...make sure you get a trunking scanner though, or you won't (easily) be able to follow their conversations.
