I hate getting over the bridge and having to unplug it and hide it.

I used to drive through there all the time when I lived in South Carolina, and traveled back and forth to VT. I never unplugged it & never had a problem.
i didnt think i would, but i was just wondering if anyone else was running it. What is the fine? i figure if its less than a speeding ticket its worth running anyway.

"Loud 'n clear!"
"Thank ya sir, can I get yre 20?"

"Nope, hammer it down"

"Roger that, thanks!"

There's a radar/laser jammar that also jam's the radar detector detector, illegal in 8 states already. I'd get one of those bad boy's, the cop's **** strait don't work when that's on, buddy of mine got one, went right by a cop with radar goign 80 in a 50, cop was staring at us going by, pointing the gun.... then pulled out and followed him for about 8 miles, messing with teh gun in teh car several times.. never did pull him over.

the detector detector they use is called vg2..I think. Most cobra detectors have a vg2 blocker built in. Its works too. i got hit by a cop that I think saw my detector but he couldnt read it and didnt pull me over.

I can't remember.. I think it was called the phazer, I hear ad's ofr it on the radio here in CT all the time, next time I hear it, I'll write down the phone # and post it up that you need to order one.
Yeah I'm curious what Jammer, Legal for sale, actually works. It better have been a Homebuilt because the FCC doesn't allow Jammers to work that well. They can be built, but they need to be alot more powerful than any I've ever seen on the market.
BTW, I work on Miltary Freq jamming equipment so I'm sure I'm one of the few experts here on this subject.
If you have a V1, you should be great when it comes to VG2 detection. The other suggestion is to Mount it up higher out of site. If you get pulled over, they can not confiscate it just for mearly having it from the last I checked. Maybe that was if you are driving thru or not from that state.
I know that the military is alot like VA/DC in that we cannot USE a Radar detector. We are allowed to posses one if we are in a state that allows use of them.
****. This could be canada. They are Way strick on the use of a Radar detector. They Fine you $500 and SMASH the Radar detector on site.

After you buy a Phazer, call me - I have some land to sell you (after the tide goes out) 
The Phazer DOES NOT work as a radar jammer. There are only two kinds of jammers - passive and active. Passive jammers are legal but unless you are the US government you can't afford one that works. Active jammers are very, very illegal to build, sell, possess, or use. They come under the jurisdiction of the FCC because they emit microwave signals and the FCC is not an agency to mess with. So the Phazer is not an active jammer. And it doesn't work, either.

When I used to drive thru VA (and at the time CT) I just put the detector in dark mode (no lights just sound for an alert) never had a cop figure out I had one, I mount mine above the rear view mirror, you can see it if you're behind and the alert lights go on, but otherwise you'd have to be looking awfully hard for it.
And the others are correct on the phazer, doesn't work worth a **** (been tested in several mags, and found utterly ineffective)

Mine is up by the mirror and from the front of the car it is invisible, from the back at night you can really only see it at a certain height. My side and hatch windows are tinted so you cant see it from the side either. The only way a cop can see it is if he is directly beside the front windshield, and even then i have it hard wired through the headliner so it would be hard to tell. I just thought they may have some **** that detects them easily.
What about CT? There not illegal there although my detector is useless on i-95 in connecticut because of those things they have on tall *** poles that make the detector go off every 2 miles.
