If you have a radar detector and you are travelling through Virginia, take it down. The police will confiscate the detector until whatever fine they write is paid. At one point they would even destrol the radar detector, but that has since become illegal due to lawsuits.

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.

Do police know if you are using a radar detector?

AnswerAll modern radar detectors use a local oscillator (LO). The local oscillator is part of the radar detector's superheterodyne circuitry which greatly boosts the radar detector's performance. Radio (actually microwave) emissions from a radar detector's local oscillator are readily detected by various types of radar detector detectors (RDDs) such as VG-2 and the Spectre. Spectre RDDs are in widespread use throughout the state of Virginia where radar detector usage is illegal. Although radar detectors at present are completely legal to use in all states except VA and Washington DC, the Texas DSP is known to use Spectres to nab unsuspecting motorists who use radar detectors. Several radar detector manufacturers have made strides during the past few years to greatly reduce the LO leakage from their products. This greatly reduces the range at which the Spectre RDD can detect these newer radar detector models. And, at present, there are three specific radar detector models which have virtually zero LO leakage. This makes these three radar detector models completely immune to detection by VG-2, by the Spectre, any other present technology, or any new technology which possibly could be developed during the next 5 years or so.
