Hmmmm,
I'm not sure I understand the undectable question.
Most stationary radars have gone to using the instant on system, which means if they haven't clocked anyone in a while and you happen along it takes less time for the Officer to get a reading and lock it than you can react to the warning signal when it goes off.
Laser uses a trigger to shoot the beam at the back or front of your car, and once again you have no warning unless you see the Officer shooting the laser, because they usually have to be outside of the vehicle to get a good target. Once the trigger is pulled the beam shoots instantaneously and the speed is locked once the finger trigger is released.
My method of clocking is pacing and NO radar/laser detector can detect this method. You have to check your rear view really closely, you never know who's behind you....
I stop ppl all the time who had a detector and said "I want to see your radar!!!", because their detector didn't go off. Ofcourse I tell them I paced you for however many tenths of a mile. You would be surprised how many ppl don't realize that this is the oldest and most convicting method of clocking. Its hard to beat the fact that they were clocked from behind for half a mile instead of just a fraction of a second.
Our speedometers are calibrated at a speedometer shop in Atlanta for accuracy, and mine shows 0 variance from the actual speed.
The sure way, the cop in me speaking, of not getting caught is not speeding.
As far as radar/laser detectors go I have no recent experience with any so I am unsure on which is the best.
I've heard the Valentine is good, but I have seem them all on the visors, dashboards & windshields of cars I have stopped so apparently they all aren't full proof.
Personally I look for cars that stand out as far as speeding goes, and don't bother with those that are only 10 over, unless there are other circumstances making it unsafe, but don't quote me on this, you might end up driving through a revenue generating town that will write you for 5 over.
I am more concerned with safety issues then someone going a little over. It all depends on the conditions and the manner in which someone is driving.
Oops, I wrote a book.
