escort passport 8500. I love mine, however its a bit big.Also, you won't get ticketed in MN for a radar detector. They are legal, however radar jammers are not. I suppose they could get you for having and item blocking vision, or what ever they call it in fancy terms. I have never gotten a ticket for one.
You won't get ticketed, but if you do get pulled over for speeding the cop is probably going to be a lot less leinient if you have a radar detector. -

We were riding around in a friends car that was an old police cruiser, still had the white/black painting scheme and the side lights so it looked legit. We were just driving and watching how people slammed on their brakes and would all look back at us and stuff trying to figure out if we were cops. It'd be damn easy to see someone take their radar detector off and try hide it, and in the process would also lead to some questioning as to what they're hiding and a search of the vehicle.

I got pulled over for 45 in a 35 on Main Ave last year in my Mustang with the fuzz buster in the window and the guy gave me a verbal warning.

That fucked me hard with a 80 in a 75 ticket and a "speed: care required." MN actually ended up suspending my license because of them. -

I dont need any lectures on slowing down, I know I was going too fast......its not like I drive like an idiot everywhere I go. Just happened to be in a hurry, which in turn made the trip longer because of speeding. I want a radar detector because they do work unless you are lasered. The ticket sucks and effects me with insurance, I take full blame and am not making excuses.
