    Default Made in Canada

    My Escort 8500 x50 says on the bottom it was made in Canada. I can't help but find this funny since they are illegal to use in Canada

    And now, for the millionth time..They are not illegal in all of Canada, just like they are not illegal in all of the US.

    Bel / Escort is based out of Ontario, right? In Ontario RD is illegal.

    I wonder if it is illegal to use, or to possess. If it is illegal to possess, the cops can line up outside the factory and pull over trucks as they leave the shipping dock

    It's illegal, but there is a exemption in the Ontario law for detectors that are "sealed and being transported from the manufacturer to a consignee". Bel was makin' em before the ban

    Legal to use. Illegal to possess in motor vehicle. Technically you can walk down the street with a detector hooked up to a 12v supply, or you could put your detector on your bicycle, or boat, or airplane. :roll:

    On another note, I noticed Saabr has 9999 posts. Whew.

    I live in the Detroit area, so there were times in my good old young single days when I would travel over to Windsor to party...I remember a few times at the border the border patrol being kind enough to tell me radar detectors are illegal in Canada and I might want to take it down.

    Actually you can use them in ALberta, and I believe British Columbia.
