A PSB scanner is far more effective than any radar detector.  The police,
whether city, sheriff's dept or state, call in a description of the car,
violation and the location where the vehicle has been stopped.  You usually
have this info minutes and miles before you get to the area where a speed
trap is being operated and it makes no difference what kind of device is
being used. (Radar,laser,stopwatch)

Knowing where the traps are you can not only avoid rear-ending somebody
with a detector who has only seconds to react to a detector's alarm but
you also get advance warning of fire and ambulance crews making hot runs
in your area.  In a sense the scanner is a *safety* device as opposed to
being an electronic countermeasure to thwart the government's revenue
gathering efforts.  ;-)
