ROTFL!!! That's why Virginia made them illegal. Because they DO work. Also, the law is unconstitutional. You have a right to receive radio signals, and a radar detector is basically a signal receiver. All the other states that had such laws "saw the handwriting on the wall" and repealed them. I recall reading that the reason why they are still illegal in Virginia is because every time a legal challenge is brought by a lawyer, the courts drop the citation for the detector, so that their law remains on the books and not struck down by a higher court.
I won't be moving to Virginia - ever, due to things like this. Not that I speed very often, but living in a police state doesn't appeal to me.
