Which undetectable detector to get?

[Stealth Stalker]

Holy **** batman - potential weapon in the pocket? Fortunately its not a consideration for our LEO's. Hadnt thought that an officer would go that way in their thoughts - I would hope that where you are, the car you drive, and the way you dress would help things a little here.

The LEO can't see your pocket from behind your car. He just sees you moving around and trying to stash something. Only a complete idiot would assume it's "just a radar detector". Such assumptions will get him killed. And sure, how you dress helps a little, but again, when they see you stashing something, all bets are off. The well dressed guy in the BMW is just as likely to have drugs and guns as the scrote bag in the old Mustang. Consequently, your best bet is to mount your detector where it is out of sight to begin with, so you don't have to try and stash it at the last second.

Anti radar detector laws usually have a section allowing the searching of cars for prohibited devices. Most leo's these days also have recording devices, and will have to tell you they are searching your vehicle for a radar dedector.

If any officer is aware of remote installs, it will be found very quickly. An officer cannot use a suspected radar pull over to search a person, only the vehicle, in all of the jurisdictions for which I am aware - these are across the board in australia. Check the legislation enabling radar detector searches in the area concerned.

Swamp, it may be of interest to you, that your fourth amendment and probable cause is derived from British common law - the same common law from which australia derives its implicit rights for citizens, and standards of evidence and non interference from authorities etc.

for instance, wikipedia on the 4th amendment notes the reduced privacy expected of motor vehicles, but also requires the item for search to be in "plain view" - further, searching the car in plain view is one thing given probable cause (there's 2 hoops to jump through), but searching passengers and their effects is excluded.

Whether you can search the driver and under what circumstances would require more detail. just because some police officers give the impression you have no rights at the side of the road, doesnt mean it is so -

Redline is the best undetectable RD on the market at the moment.

X2, mine is great !

But it does mean that you are going to get searched, like it or not.

SS you are so right , I read leos saying that nothing will stop
them to find a hidden rd ...either in the car or on you ...just because ,
they claim '' it is unlawfull to impede police duty ''


I know first hand when I refused a search ...ok he said ...I will call
a towing , then a specialist will dismantle your car untill he find
your rd . He had detected positively my cobra ''undetectable'' with
his recalibrated vg-2 ...this is pre-sti history

pharmaboy,
You are arguing about how things "should" be, apparently based on British and Austrailan law.

We are telling you how things are in the United States based on our personal experiences here

I got searched on US Hwy 82 just across the Texas border into Arkansas near Texarkana in 1982 by a State trooper. I was stopped solely because I had an out of state license plate (Colorado). I was driving a camper van; after he ran my license and registration, he told me to step out of the vehicle. He didin't ask--he ordered me--and he proceded to search it.
He found a candle in a jar and looked at me and said "You better be careful--they use these." Then he picked up a book of matches, and said "They use these, too."
I stood there looking out over the bayou (deep water forested swampland) and realized that if he ever decided that I was one of them that I would more than likely end up somewhere in that bayou, never to be seen again.
Fortunately, I had nothing illegal, and after 15 minutes he let me go.

I've held a pistol in my hand and aimed it between another man's eyes (he was raging drunk beating up an aunt) and I was as cool and calm as I've ever been in my life, my heart never missed a beat and my hands were rock steady, but that State trooper left me shaking in my boots.

I can still hear him saying,

"You're not one of them are you?"

"You're not one of them are you?"

"You're not one of them are you?"

Hell that scares even me!
