CB radios are good for more than just finding where the police are hiding. You also hear about traffic conditions. Plus a bunch of truckers cussing up a storm. I could do without that part.

I haven't driven with one in years, but when I did, it was much, much more effective than any radar detector. And as a bonus, if the cop sees a CB radio in your car, it's not an automatic ticket. They stick it to you if you have a radar detector, because in their eyes, you are obviously trying to break the law.
