What do you guys think about Radar Dectectors??
I have cops infesting my entire area block all the time. Its a big strip of wide lanes and lil people and yet the limit is 40km, dunno how to convert to mph. Just thinking If i should get one, not just because of my area but in general. How much do they cost and what is good?

Wouldn't drive without one. Those who say they are a waste of money don't know how to use them. Just 'cause you have one doesn't mean you'll never get caught.
You need to be careful with cops using "instant on" (try making sure that there are cars up ahead so you'll detect when they are zapped.
Laser is very difficult to detect ahead of time, so if your detector is indicating laser, it's probably too late.
I have an older Passport (4500) and it still works flawlessly and it has paid for itself many times over. I have debated getting a new one, but for pure detection purposes, mine still does great. Although I don't have some of the new features available in newer detectors (i.e. Hazard warning, railroad warning, signal direction, etc.)
Oh yeah, highly illegal in Canada.

I have an old passport 5000 and it still works great. I normally won't take the lead, I will let at least one car take the front then my radar picks up when he's getting clocked. You have to remember they only work if the cop has his on and you still have to watch out for traps. I feel naked without it though.

You guys taht commented... do you get many false alarms? That was the thing with my old passport was the many false alarms just drove me to turn the thing off. Have they gotten better?

false alarms?
I have a passport 4500, and I get very few false alarms. The couple i do get are in the same area all the time so I know when to expect them. The 4500 is great its saved me countless times.

For the question about legality in California. They are legal in all US states except for Virginia and Washington DC.
