And while I know that radar detectors are completely useless against an Instant On trap, and I would certainly never waste perfectly good money on one... I still don't believe they should be illegal. It's a product that you can legally buy.... but if you turn it on.... or in the case of a commercial vehicle, even possess it inside the vehicle.... you're breaking the law.

i completely agree with you.

but, i don't remember _which_ states, but in many, it's illegal for _anyone_ to posses a radar detector. that's why they made the detector detector-proof units, and systems such as the k40, which can be completely concealed in the vehicle.


although, if you want to spend a lot of money, and put a lot of work into your vehicle, you _can_ make it pretty damn hard for the police to tag you. but, we're talking a few thousand dollars, a lot of electronics, and a new paint job.
