Might the police position themselves near known non-enforcement radar sources?
This would diminish the value of GPS. I don't know off hand if other brands tell you how many sources there are, but the Valentine does, which would be helpful in these situations. And yes, it picks up a lot of non-enforcement signals... but you've gotta love them arrows: in many cases you instantly know where to look and how to react (or not.)

By the way, how extensive is the position the Escort GPS determines as being "the same"? Could an enforcement source be conveniently positioned just outside that range?
