. True. But what good is a radar detector if it's switched off? There is a contradiction in what is stated in Wiki and what is stated in the marketing blurb about the Escort 9500CI. I'd treat the marketing blurb with caution. These RDDs wouldn't have a great range; the radar detector isn't a transmitter but its oscillator emits small levels of radiation picked up by a RDD. The police car would have to be very close, possibly alongside your car I'd guess. It's a game of technology leapfrog: you have to keep buying new models to outfox the opposition. Easier to stick to the speed limit.
