Is it the Valentine or Escort that will pay your fine (within reason) if you get nailed and you've got one of their detectors?

I have heard this to and no it is not true...
My cobra works fine but the auto doors and burglar alarms set of X which mainly counties use anyway. K and KA is what pretty much all others use. ANd laser....welll if laser goes off slam on your brakes because that is a hard one to detect and is almost certainly a cop.
My is good though i got busted the first day i had it because i passed an undercover cop in a camaro on the bypass...got off though because he didnt "clock" me he paced me and then used it to make me look around and see him behind me. Thden another on spring break at 71 in a 55 and the gop made me sit in his car so i thought i was going to jail. Then he said "didnt your radar pick me up clocking?" I said "Yea but i thought it was picking up the marked one not your unmarked car" He said (exact words) "Oh well they are useless any. Who made your radar detecot?" i said "Cobra" he smiled an says" Well *pulling down radar gun* would you look at that?*points to brand name* sure enough they are the same company. YOu see cobra and Valentine make all of our radars. And now we have a radar to use that not a single radar detector on the market can pick up. It is the one that helicopters and planes use. Watch,*clocks a car that passes us using the new one and my detector never made a sound* See?" but that i know of they necver really use those....
