In the states that it's illegal to run RD’s how would I get around a RDD? When I get an alert just shut off my V1 or when I see a LEO?

Most LEOs that run Spectre, don't run radar at the same time. If the point is to find RDs, then it doesn't make sense to emit radar and warn RD users of your presense. There is no way around RDDs with a V1.Quote:

Most people who run in VA (including myself at times)get away with unhooking it just when you get the first alert - assuming that it is mounted high by the RVM and out of sight.Quote:

Thanks! Thats what kind of answer I was hunting for.Quote:

If I lived where a radar detector was illegal and wanted to use a V1 (which I would not), I'd keep a cheap-o radar detector in my car at all times just in case. If he wanted to confiscate it, I'd just give him that one instead of the V1.
No problem. Most of us who live in VA consider the 80 dollar fine better than a speeding ticket. I just keep an eye on my rear view, and if I see something that looks like a LEO (or is marked), I reach up to my RVM (look like I am adjusting it) and unhook the RD. I've made 3 or 4 trips from Richmond to the MD Border in VA without an issue, however, I do unhook the RD when I get into Fairfax county. My reasoning is twofold, one, it is hard to speed in the DC Suburbs, and two, fairfax (in my experience) has the best equipment, hence leading me to think that they would have more spectres per officer. But there isn't any evidence (that i've seen) to back that supposition up.Quote:
