This is not entirely true. While radar detectors are not legal for the general public there is a way around this feature. Since a radar detector does not operate on a bandwidth which is protected there is a way to be "licensed" to use the bandwidth in which the detector operates. Any HAM radio operator has a license to operate devices in this band which just happens to include radar detectors. A state can not dictate your bandwidth use while using a federal license to use said bandwidth. But that is if you really care about using a detector in VA.
