WHY??? Had a radar detector in other states I’ve lived in and think this made me an overall more mindful driver about speeding. There’s also evidence that the ban of these devices have no impact on speeding in general. More arguments in the link… What’s everyone’s thoughts on this? Are Virginia and Mississippi the two states that got it right?
Iirc, there is a legal workaround but no manufacturer has exploited it. The reason it’s held up in court is because its sole purpose is to avoid law detection, but a device which has more than that as it’s only function (iirc an FM radio was an example, but today a dashcam would probably be a better dual use) would be legal.
I don’t have any reference or cite for this…it’s been decades since I was involved with the detector cat and mouse game.
