Most VA cops leave their radar on 24/7. You will occasionally find one attempting to be cute with instant on but not usually. I know this because I run one in my RX-7. I don't speed but I enjoy knowing where the police are hiding at

That would be considered entrapment here in the US.

for now maybe, i realize that this kind of tech doesnt change generations every 6 months so you'd prolly be good with one of these for a while. but the only way to avoid detection by any future tech changes is a completely passive unit, which could never work

yep, but doesnt mean it isnt happening... i've watched it happen in HI, and have an uncle in SC who got nabbed this way. funny thing - he's not a car guy, at all. he's nerdier than i am, and the LAST person in the world i would have expected to play stoplight racing, especially in a CRV......
