Only 2 places have "illegal" detectors... VA and Washington DC. The rest just see the detector and don't give you warnings if you get nailed. And I drive through VA with mine up all the time
Lol typo, just want to make sure I am reading it correctly.

Your saying the only 2 places detectors are "illegal" are DC and VA. The rest of them will just give you a warning if they see it?

Just don't speed around areas that you know cops hang around, works for me. I think that a radar detector makes you lazy, so you are not on the look out as much.

Detectors are great on the highway, freeway, expressway, turnpike, etc.....

you need to have one that covers all the bands. In the city most cops use Lasers. these have to be aimed at a vehicle and if he hasn't triggered it on another car you'll never know it's there. Trust me I know......

BTW, you guys with jammers, this guy will pay $5,000 for proof of any jammer that actually works.

Default RE: radar detector

I want to gte a radar detector, but i live in Canada were it is illegal everywhere to have one. Are there any detectors on the market that cops cant pick up with there radar guns. I am wondering because my buddy used to have one and a cop picked him off and not only gave him a ticket for speeding, but another one for owning a detector. The ticket came to around 600$. Or how do cops know you have one, because he had his in his trunck and as soon as the cop came up to the door, he told my buddy that he was getting an extra ticket for owning a detector. Anyways can anyone tell me how they can detect your radar detector, and if there are any out there that they cannot detect.

Thanks.

i think it might of been a jammer that he had. i dont think that they can pick up they you have a radar detector because all the detectors do is just recieve the signal and tell you. but if they see it on your windshield they can give you a ticket. where is code3gt because he is a cop. i havnt seen him around hear for a while. he might have something to say
