With that being said tho...I find if you just pay attention then you shouldn't get one, if you are driving along and see a shiny mini-van or truck parked just off the road, slow down...or if your really paranoid, check out the city of calgary police website and they will tell you where the photo radar is going to be setup for the coming month.
Photo radar runs on Ka band (I think) and I always get plenty of warning when coming up on one of those vans. The only thing that my detector doesn't pick up are the green light cameras which is why I'm thinking about investing in a new one as my Valentine V1 is probably 5 years old, but has paid for itself probably ten times over.
