Speeding Ticket!! Whats the best Radar/Laser detector?

Well, after almost 5 ticket-free years in Texas, where the speed limits are reasonable and so are the police I got bagged today. I was pulled from the middle of about 11 cars for doing 45mph in a 25mph zone. This may sound bad but anyone who has ever been in RI knows the speed limits are ridiculously low so the cops can collect their "donut money" at will. Its just another form of BS taxation that brain-dead RI residents have learned to put up with. Anywhere else in the country the road would be a 35mph minimum or maybe even a 45mph. No one EVER drives 25mph on rt138 in South Kingstown. I am suspicious that I got bagged 'cause I have a MB. Well with any luck, since I have a clean driving record the ticket will be dropped (you get one drop every 3 years here). Anyhoo, I stopped needing to play the cat-n-mouse radar-detector game when I moved to TX in '98 so I need to know what the latest and greatest "oinker-alerting" devices are these days. Sorry if there are any LEO's on the 'board but I just don't like y'all. I've met too many bad/ignorant cops in social situations, not incarceration mind you, to give any of y'all credit. C'mon guys, whats the latest-greatest technology out there? Thanks, RT
