RayL - And don't forget to turn it off when you cross the Potomac. Virginia has strict laws against radar detectors, and their state troopers have devices to help detect them.
I have spent more than one night in Virginia jails, and the two I have graced had bare metal bunks. No mattress. A far cry from the comfort of a cushy Maxima seat.
edit - No, the nights in jail were not for using a radar detector. Having no money at the time, I hitchhiked everywhere I went during the five years I was in college in the 1950s. On very cold nights, when all the traffic had disappeared, I would be allowed to spend nights in the local jail free. Much better than freezing to death in a muddy ditch.

i thought radar detectors were passive devices, and do not emit anything.

MaxMus - I just added an explanation to my jailbird situation.
I was fortunate to work with the first anti-personnel doppler radar back in the 1950s, operating and field-testing it along the Kaesong Corridor (Korean DMZ), graduated from the U.S. Army's Electronic Countermeasures school, and worked for two years in the Arizona desert testing radar and infra-red sensory devices, yet I still can't figure out how a passive device such as a radar detector can be detected.
It seems anything is possible these days.

hard wiring is in a sitcky
You had me going, wondering what you could of done to do time, going against the image I had of you. But then your explanation fit right into your persona. Classic Lightonthehill.
