Default Not for the detector but they don't like them.....

When I know I am about to get pulled over I take it off before he sees it because it pretty much kills all chances of talking yourself out of a ticket.

Default On the books only two states do not allow them!!!

It seems there is nothing against them unless you are a commercial driver. Only two states have laws against them. Can they give you a ticket if they did not catch you speeding just for having this device. From legal standpoint NO....

Default Are you from VA?

Only state I knew of that made them illegal to use.

CT used to be, as I got a ticket 10 yrs ago for one.

Default What is your source for this?

It's my understanding that there are many states that have made the use of radar detectors illegal, by anyone. They're illegal here in California and I know they were in a number of eastern seaboard states years back.

Curious where you're getting your information.

Jammers are usually illegal, while detetors are just a gauranteed speeding ticket
