Yes, some police vehicles are equipped with rear-facing radar units that can detect the speed of vehicles behind them. This allows police officers to monitor and enforce speed limits for vehicles approaching from the rear.

Are Radar Detectors legal in Virginia?

Nope! totally sucks too. However you can buy a stealth radar detector such as the Beltronics STI, which is not susceptible to radar detector detectors (RDD's). Cops in VA are equipped with RDD's to give tickets to those using them.


Can a cop hide and use radar?

Cops hide to give out tickets and so the town collects money. How many tickets would they write if they were sitting in plain view? I thought cops were supposed to serve and protect.....LOL yeah, right. Cops think they can do whatever they want and get away with it...and they can IF we citizens let them. Stand up for what is lawful and moral. They are too many rogue arrogant cops doing getting away with evil acts.


What is the most sensitive radar detector?

According to radardetectors.com, the Valentine is the most sensitive and most highly rated of all the radar detectors. It provides front and rear detection.


Do cops have radar?

Traffic "Cops" use FMCW radar, as they can be very low power and work off batteries. LADAR is also used and this makes the beam much narrower as the wavelength is higher, it should be more accurate but is more likely to suffer from atmospherics. Yes, for speed metering. Radar can be detected by consume hardware, which is illegal in many states. Most police forces have moved to laser because it is more accurate, is difficult for a speeder to contest in court, and is almost impossible to detect until it's too late.


How do you avoid speeding tickets?

Not to sound blunt, but I would recommend not speeding to begin with. Don't speed? Slow down. Do it when the cops aren't around or you can also get a radar detector.


What do cops use to see how fast you are going?

They use a radar gun if they want to measure one car at a time, and they use a two-way digital radar if they want to know the speeds of cars in front of where the cop is driving and the car going the other way on the other side of the street.


Are radar detectors legal in Canada?

Some places they are technically legal. Some places they have been outlawed. But this is a problem. In Canada it is legal to receive any radio transmission as long as you do not communicate the information gained to anyone. "Radar" detectors are simply a radio receiver. Laser detectors may be enforceable as illegal. But I have seen cops only write tickets to radar detector users.


I want to know if the FCC is near by is there a indicator just like a police radar detector?

Simply... No. The FCC has enough technology to be quite stealthy. Radar detectors are not cop detectors either. Cops can turn their radar units off, just blending into the crowd like everyone else. Why you would ever want to know if the FCC are near by is beyond me. The other thing that is beyond me is why this question is posted in teen dating...


How accurate are radar and lidar detectors?

I don't like to be without one. They will let you know the cops are near your car with some limitations. 1. Instant on is hard to beat unless the cop can't keep his finger off the button, which is lucky for us as most instant on is checking the car ahead of you. 2. Lidar is even harder to beat, but there are stray lidar sources that will let you know they are checking traffic ahead of you. (see answer 2). 3. Most of the time they have given me time to slow down providing you are not an extreme speeder. They are most useful in speed (trap), zone stings such as a 25mph zone where you should be allowed to go 35mph. 4. Because of instant on and short range radar, you have to be alert and ready to slam on the brakes at the slightest beep of the radar detector for the detector to be most effective. Don't be afraid to slam on the brakes as cops don't notice you hit the brakes unless they are doing reverse lidar. One cop got me by using lidar on my rear license plate after I had gone by and my lidar detector was not a model that detected from the rear. (cop was very sneaky and a prick too).
