Petition to allow Radar Detectors in VA

Coon-azz · 11-13-2012, 04:31 PM

You know, I don't see why VA won’t allow radar detectors. With all the new technology emerging, many of them have updates for traffic, emergencies, road constructions etc. And with the total lack of intelect that Virginia uses when doing road construction, one might think it could help avoid traffic accidents to some degree; oh, and speed traps.

Anyway, I'm curious if there is a way to start a petition for the use of RD's in VA? Just a thought. Anyone have input?

So I started a petition for this. Please sign it.

I THINK if you buy the Passport 9500iX it has a Radar detector detector detector...

The police can find you because your radar detector emits a frequency that they pick up with their detector detector... And again, I THINK the 9500iX has a detector for their detectors and it shuts the unit off when it detects them...

JEEZUS I typed in "detect/detector" a lot...

Hmmm? The purpose of it turning off is so you don't get fined for having one in VA and DC... If it turns off, I guess you know there is a cop, LOL

Honestly, best bet, get a battery operated one, and if you see a cop, chuck it in the glove box, if it's in the glove box, and off they can't give you a ticket

If you drive the legal speed limit then yes.

I love it. I can walk around with my gun on my hip all over VA and cops don't care (it's legal), but if I have my radar detector on the SWAT team will pull me out of my car and beat me to death.

your weapon doesn't take $$ out of the state's pocket, a radar detector could, state doesn't like not making $$ off it's citizens, that goes 100x for VA, the republic of ludicrous taxation.

Another law from the future Good ole U.F.A. (United Fascists of America). And if they had their way, you wouldn't have that gun on your hip either.

I'll keep you posted though and any other argument is helpful.

Think its bad in VA? Try New York City, state and many northeastern states.
Bloomberg is a dictator. Sell too much soda in NY? get fined. Smoke in your house. get fined, smoke on the street? Get fined, stand in a corner more than 5 minutes, Stop and Frisk...

For a long time I had hoped they would lift the ban. I'm going to borrow a friends 9500 for a road trip at the end of the month and I'll see how it works, as far as shutting off if detected.
