Get caught with one and they could "LIKELY" take it depending on which state you are in, fines vary depending on where your caught.

I'd love to have one as I run across 30 in OH everyday where the truck speed limit is 55 but it isn't worth it.

NOT TRUE. I've been caught in south carolina and ga.,by the DOT, and was only ticketed and asked to place the detector in an area out of my reach as i drive. He was correct in that the fines vary.

Not true.Both Beltronics and Escort make completely undetectable detectors.There has been quantum leaps in detector quality since 1999.The old adage that you get exactly what you pay for is very true regarding radar detectors.You guys truly neeed to do even miniscule research before posting such non truths.
