Are radar detectors legal?
Yes, they are legal in the USA with the exception of Virginia, the District of Columbia, on all
military bases, and nationally in all commercial vehicles weighing over 10,000 pounds.
Over the years, however, the cost of any fines for operating one are small (relative to a
typical speeding ticket).
To enforce radar detector usage laws in Virginia and by commercial truck inspection
officers, police use a device called the Spectre RDD radar detector detector (or RDD) that
is able to sniff out many of the radar detectors made.
The best radar detectors are undetectable or nearly undetectable by Spectre RDDs,
making driving with a radar detector a much less risky proposition that it's been of past
years.
Because of this if you do drive in Virginia, Washington D.C., or are commercial vehicle
operator you will want to be sure to
select a radar detector that is stealth or nearly undetectable to the Spectre RDD.
Now if you live and/or drive where police laser enforcement is commonly used, you may
also want to scroll down to the bottom of this page to our Laser Jamming Reviews section to
check out those rankings and reviews.
In terms of police laser, we always recommend pairing your detector with Laser Veil to give you the
best chance at beating a speeding ticket.
