My experience with the Mississippi Highway Patrol has usually been negative relative to speeding. What happened to you with MHP? Did they say something about your RD?

Judging from your screen name I will add that I painfully and personally know that the Mississippi highway patrol does care if you have a radar detector.
Hope this helps,

Question? What issues does the MSHP have with RDs? Did you get nailed with I/O and ticketed and leave your RD up?

This day and age, er, economy? If my last experience was any example the LEO probably wouldn't even notice or care. He was in such a hurry to get back to his hiding spot to snag more motorists he practically handed me my citation through the window as he drove off...

Be careful with the mounting because it still needs a clear line of sight with the sky for the GPS functions. What you may have to do is get an additional external antenna where it will have a clear view therefore u will be able to mount he RD in a great location. I personally like I as high as possible either above the rearview mirror or as high as possible i/f/o the driver. Remember, hardwiring is a must!! Good luck!

Check out my profile picture. I have mine mounted high left. Very hard to see from the outside.

Mine's mounted high and in the middle/left... hardwired of course.

I have actually already seen an LEO laugh at my my car because of the 41' whip on my trunk.
I doubt they'd give me a warning anyways...
