The Snooper S1 is 90 quid. Why should I spend a few hundred on a valentine, etc.....??

The S1 claims to detect all major speed traps.

Because for the extra money you get something that works and not something that warns you when someone is opening their garage!

yes.

it doesn't detect mini gatso's

but as the man says, the gps one doesn't false alarm, and it waarns of truvellos, which can't be detected as they do not use radar/lasers.

we all know that the police only ever use the same spots when they use the hand held guns. The GPS database has these in it giving you good warning to keep a look out.
