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.


That does sound a bit preachy, doesn't it? I guess I'm not a devout ecomodder...
I don't care if they work or not. I just learned to drive the speed limit and I won't need a radar detector.

And you mentioned a lawyer. So now, I get a radar detector and get caught, go to court after paying my lawyer, etc, etc. I just spent how much time and money on something because I wanted to speed? Lawyers are expensive.

I don't know what you are. But, when thinking of Eco friendly people, do you think of people that are getting speeding tickets?

This is a public forum that you chose to come into, so you get to read everyone's opinion. I have one, like everyone else.
