Not worth the heat, you get caught with it and it'll make your speeding ticket and insurance increase look minor. Besides, cops use laser half the time now, detection is hit and miss, and by the time they hit you, you're already frakked anyways.
The best way to avoid speeding tickets it to avoid speeding. But you already knew that.

You know of course that cops have radar detector detectors. So if you see a cop he already knows you have one.

I'm not saying the "radar" function doesn't work -- the radar beam is wider. The laser, not so much.
How many videos do you see where the guy gets caught? Probably not too many people post those, but I assure you that it happens.
In the end of course, it's your choice.

I used to have one before it got stolen.. saved me on a lot of tickets. This is when I was young and stupid and invincible.
When I went to Canada i always removed it, even the cords. Didn't even keep it in the trunk. Its just not worth the hassle of getting busted with one.
Now I just drive slower, and haven't had a speeding ticket in *knock on wood* close to 10 years now.

well I know for a fact Radar/lazer decters are legal, just not in Ontario & New Brunswick.
