I hear in some states they're illegal, but you're fine. They're legal in cali. I dont know about the harassing part though...

they'll probably tell you to turn it off and put it away.. put it somewhere where it's not visible..

well if you get pulled over for speeding and a cop sees that hes probably going to assume you dont pay much attention to the road, your speed, or your laser detector so he probably wont let you slide.

dont get a laser detector, just drive the speed limit.

Cost of Detector x Having the Detector + Speeding Ticket = Hilarious Burn

thats what i was saying, haha.
if a cop catches you speeding and then notices you have a radar OF course hes going to ticket you just to make you feel that much more of a jackass.

if your that sketched out about getting a ticket for one, just stop speeding. its what i was getting at.

I plan on getting a radar detector...not so much for the speeding thing, but because it will go off most of the time and give me a chance to get my illegally tinted windows down before I pass the cop.

ive gotten pulled over with having a radar detector (im in new york) and the cop didnt say/do nething about it. but it'd be smart to pull it off before he gets to ur car.

They're legal. They're just like radar detectors. The only problem with laser detectors though is that the cops laser is only on when he pulls the trigger for it to be on. Most don't roll with it on because unlike radar where it covers an area, the laser is a bit more precise and he has to shoot it at your car.

What is illegal though (at least in CA, not sure about the other states) is a radar jammer. Now that I'd love to have, but if you get caught with one of those they'll impound your car and rip it apart to find it (as I said... at least in CA).

edit: spelling errors.

Active Radar Jammers are illegal anywhere in the US. Big penalties for getting caught with one.

and its annoying as s**t when the detector goes off when it's gettin laser. makes the most obnoxious blaring noise
