Using stealth in non-prohibited states
Is there anyone that has found it to be an advantage to use a stealth radar detector in states that do not specifically ban them. Has a law enforcement officer held it against anyone during a stop within a state where they are not banned?
I am trying to decide between the Escort 9500ix and the BEL sti-Driver.
I like the GPS capabilities of the Escort.....does it matter if it can be detected by some RDD's? I live in Indiana.

Many states have them for truck enforcement, some agencies like TX DPS use Spectre to be selective with I/O radar to nab RD users specifically, on the assumption that they are in the top percentage of violators.

If you can't search I'm just not going to answer. I'm just flat tired of sounding like a broken record.

Nice insight as to technique. Add to that, THIS abiliy.

It's o.k. to return it and spend another $100 for an Escort, PLUS you'll be better off for the experience

Re: Using stealth in non-prohibited states
There is one advantage to having a stealth detector in a non-prohibited U.S. state (that's all of the states except for Virginia). The advantage is if you happen to run across a law enforcement officer that had a Spectre RDD for the 1995 federal commercial vehicle anti-radar detector law. If that cop was also issuing tickets to non-commercial vehicles he would know if you have a radar detector if you are using a radar detector that is detectable by Spectre. We all know how having a radar detector changes the attitude and judgement of most law enforecment officers when they think about cutting you a break or not if you have been stopped. So if you happened to encounter that scenario, having a stealth detector could help you a lot.

this is also another reason to mount high and hide it well, if you have a good detector you would see the LEO's radar before his spectra catches you and even when it does, if he can't see it he might assume it is a mistake.
On a side not has anyone tested the new V1 3.872 with the revised board with the spectra 4+, I would think that it should do really good but who knows.
