Years ago when all they had was always on radar, radar detectors worked pretty well. Today they aren't as effective with the pulse radars and lasers and what not. They only have a chance if there is traffic ahead of you. But if there is traffic ahead of you that you are rapidly overtaking you are probably going to be getting a ticket anyway.

The best bet is to drive with traffic or just take the tickets. While radar detectors are legal here you can't use one in any type of commercial vehicle. So if your car is registered in a business' name you can't use one. They do enforce it with commercial vehicles.

I saw a fair number of them in Alberta last year when I was there.
