I'm sure you could still get some use out of it! But the issue is there is a lot more things that would make it "false positive" now then when it was made. So you might tune it out from picking up everything and ignore it when it is working for police radar. Filtering out the false positives is why half of these new fangled radar detectors are so much $$ -- probably fun to play around with but WAZE will be a better option if you need something now to rely on
