That cop has now given you a ticket based on heresay evidence, and the original officer USING the radar equipment will likely not show up in court.
Secondly, I only really support radar-detector use on the highway. There's speed limits in the city for a REASON. On the highway, the OPP 99% of the time is using car-mounted units that are either in the windhsield, and/or in the rear window, or in a pod on the side of the car (hanging off the driver's side rear window). Most times they can do both mobile and stationary radar from these setups. The V1 is invaluable against these units since their installation in the cruiser actually creates a rather large "scatter" of radio waves.

You honestly have no idea what you are talking about, I have been to court 4 times fighting laser tickets and won 3.. Your facts are wrong..
Laser can be used from inside a car, it does not need to be on a tripod,
Laser CANNOT be used from a moving police car...
Laser is used 95% of the time on a highway, because in a city, there are laws governing the use of laser beams etc etc.
The hearsay evidence made me laugh, you try that one in court and they will laugh at you and make you pay the full ammount.
My V1 has saved me atleast 8 times in the states, even from a highway patrol helicopter running a speed trap. and last week i gave this cop a smug look, he pulls around behind me, stops in the middle of the road, and thats when I knew he was going to hit me with his dash mounted radar, he pinged me 3 times, each time my V1 was freaking out.
Before i had a radar detector, I got nailed speeding 40km Over, in Kingston.. It was a speed trap, the COP walks out in the highway and flags you down, they are not afraid of getting infront of moving traffic.
