How do I get around RDD with a V1?

[GreenRadar]

From what I understand it is only illegal to OPERATE a detector in VA correct? I may be wrong, but if I'm not wrong then just unplug it as soon as you get the alert and hopefully you picked him up before his spectre picked you up. If I'm wrong then you should look into the Redline or Sti Driver

I don't think you can even have one, and i don't think putting it in your trunk protects you if they find it ether.

Yea I think it's illegal IN the vehicle, I remember reading an article about it when CT banned RDs and how the cops were saying you can purchase and own one, but you can't put it in your car, if you purchase one you gotta walk home with it or take your bike or something cus you can't transport it. This confused me cus I wondered about how the RDs got delivered to the store in the first place

I can just imagine them pulling over a truck driver who was just making a routine delivery for an electronic store that had just purchased a bunch of radar detectors. That would be something else.

I wonder if the federal ban on commercial vehicles is a posession or operation type ban

VA Law has two points about this:

§ 46.2-1079. Radar detectors; demerit points not to be awarded.

Except as provided in subsection B of this section, the presence of any such prohibited device or mechanism in or on a motor vehicle on the highways of the Commonwealth shall constitute prima facie evidence of the violation of this section. The Commonwealth need not prove that the device or mechanism in question was in an operative condition or being operated.

B. A person shall not be guilty of a violation of this section when the device or mechanism in question, at the time of the alleged offense, had no power source and was not readily accessible for use by the driver or any passenger in the vehicle.

Thats what the law says - not sure what they do in practice, but I would imagine that if they see it, it's a ticket (IE, I wouldn't want to open up my glovebox with one in it).

Yea, I would imagine the burden of proof shifts to the defendant to prove it was not hooked up to a power source.

Killswitch. Something that just requires a nice natural motion and can be operated without suspicion. You're really going to screw with your RD when your first warning of the cop is seeing them in your mirror?

Concealed display is a fantastic idea too.

The VA law is about the power source.
In reality though a cop can give you a ticket for whatever the **** he wants. If it holds up in court is another story.
