    Fish Finders - do they really destroy police radar? Canadian truckers told me they use them and when the radar pings the truck, the fish finder pings back and destroys the electronics in the radar system.

    I would love to see any proof of that, find just one cop to say he had his radar destroyed by a fish finder or anything else.

    So cars are legal and trucks aren't. Except Virgina and D.C. who's illegal for both.

    Thanks guys.

    However if you choose to have one in CMV, Make sure its undetectable like the Bel STI, Escort Redline

    Illegal.

    You will be given two choices. Crush yours under the steer tire slowly or face prosecution.

    I had one long ago and that was what happened in my case. It's destroyed. The Bearcat was gone not long after.
