Exactly.
If you want to be safe from Laser guns you can walk the legal tightrope with
a Laser jammer (it's for opening my garage door, officer, honest) or stick
to the speed limits. Don't expect to be warned in time to slow down.

For fixed cameras I don't know why people are still bothering with Rader
detectors like the Snooper S1 etc. The GPS driven ones like the Road Angel
or Origin Blue seem a much more sensible idea?

Fair enough but why complicate the matter when detecting laser does little
more than make you aware that a letter's in the post!

Hi Nick,

The S1 also detects LASER. or at least that's what the manufacturer
claims.
It doesn't in my experience of using it.

One fundemental problem with the Snooper is that it only detects
Radar.
These days Radar is the least of your troubles! Also from experience
with
the more expensive Snooper 815 they go off all the time on anything.
It's
more money but a GPS based system is going to offer you much better
protection from all manner of different static cameras. If you visit
our
website on www.cel-direct.com there's a whole section on "Speed
Detectors"
which also contains a lot of information you may find useful in making
your
decision

Regards

I'm not too worried about it working in Europe. As long as it works
in
Britain, I'm happy. are you saying the snoopers dont work at all?!?

The only one I find reliable is the bel 550 and it works all over
Europe,
should find one on ebay for sale, but forget the snooper

Hi,
I'm thinking of getting a radar / speed camera detector for my
motor.
I've
seen they're quite expensive, but halfords have a Snooper S1 for
£99.
I'm
guessing if that's the halfrauds price I can get it cheaper on
the
internet.
Does anyone have any advice? what are peoples experiences -
particularly
with this model. Do they actually work? I'm dubious you see, and
don't
wanna
get stung.

cheers.
James
