OP is in LA and although California is pretty strict in every other category that has to do with automobiles, it's not illegal to own a radar detector.
What the police can get you for though is obscuring your vision by placing something on your windshield (GPS, radar detector, cellphone holder). If you do get one, clip it on your sun visor and say F the police!! |

go with V1, anything cheap might just get you trolled by your local police. I was in a passenger seat when my buddy got pulled over and the cop said " should've gotten a better radar detector" and he still got a ticket which was pretty funny at the same time lol

Why is escort not an option? I have one and it paid for itself already. I drive a lot and it really helps when your driving to urban areas, pointless in the city. They are legal in CA but as some have mentioned you cant mount them on the windshield. My brother got stopped speeding on the carpool lane with no passenger smh while driving my car and cop did not take the radar. Pic shows how I have it set up

I live in San Diego too, and turned K off. My S4's side assist causes it to go off constantly, and the only time I ever get k readings are school zone radars and automatic doors. The ONLY k I have ever seen from a speed trap was North County Patrol (they are cops that are paid by neighborhoods to patrol and enforce speeds, they don't work regular roads.)
Turned my k band off and 99% of the time when my K1 makes any noise it is Ka for a cop or laser (most of the time not a cop)
