Most of the cheap ones aren't good enough to give you a useful heads up. So you basically get a noisemaker that detects automatic doors at the mall and that's about it.
Really, the only time a detector helps is if 1) you're not speeding too fast, 2) the cop is not using laser or pop/instant-on radar, 3) the cop is radaring cars in front of you, 4) you have a detector good enough to pick up the scatter off the cars in front of you.
And just as a general statement, radar detectors (even the best one money can buy) certainly don't give you the ability to just ignore the speed limits.
