    Default When stopped with rd

    When stopped by a LEO and you have a RD, do you:

    1. Remove and conceal the RD?

    2. Attempt to conceal the RD where mounted?

    3. Keep the RD in place?

    4. Other?

    I take it down (windshield mounted V1) if I can do so without being obvious, and without looking like I'm doing anything fishy to make the cop nervous.

    i think the officer would have to lay on the ground and look directly up into my car with the door open to see my detector. i dont think my headlights are even at the legal level for street use

    I haven't been stopped since I bought the x50 (someone get some wood please...) but I would prefer not to try and insult the officers intelligence. Not to mention the fact that a lot of movement within the cabin is probably the last thing he/she wants to see. When I get stopped I just roll my window down and put my hands on the wheel.

    My "getting pulled over" routine:

    1. Turn off radar detector (especially at night)
    2. Pull to the right, or a side street if on a major street
    3. Turn on headlights, hazards, and interior lights
    4. Turn off car
    5. Put keys on dashboard
    6. Roll down window
    7. Put hands on wheel


    Sometimes when I get hit with IO and I positively identify the LEO I'll take down the radar detector if I think I can do so before they pull out to pursue me. Otherwise I just turn it off so it doesn't start drawing attention to itself.

    The last time i got stopped it was in nc i left the detector mounted.He wasn't even useing radar and paced me gave me a big ticket no break what so ever.I believe if i ever get stopped again i'll try to hide it or at least take it down.

    It takes me 5 seconds to take it off so just take it off.

    For me -

    3. Keep the RD in place.
