apintojr, there is another way to hide your detector. If you get pulled over, put it in your glovebox. The cops arent allowed to search your car, so you wont get busted

All the cop has to do is tell you to wait go to there car call in a request to search your car and boom they can. Its that easy for them all they have to say is they suspect you are hiding something. So hiding it in the glove box dont do to much good.

One good thing about Tx, is that radar detectors are legal. But if a cop sees you with it, he ain't too happy. I had a cop following me for almost an hour waiting for to do something illegal.

U could also slip it under your seat, and if you act normal, then they wont bother searching. My mom once went 120kph in a 50kph, then she ran into Tim Hortons (donut shop) The cop didnt follow or check the car (she could've gone to the washroom to flush drugs)

Cracking up

Speeding ticket of $100 to $150? Hahahahahah Maybe if your's doing 5 over. I just got a speeding ticket about 2 weeks ago. $280 US. Of course I was also moving. And as far as radar detectors being illegal, I see those blue lights come on, I reach up, pull my detecor off the windsheild, unplug it, and have it hidden in the pocket of my center console in under 15 seconds. Tis all it takes, and unless you open fire, or act highly suspicious, the car's not going to get searched. If cops feel the need to search your car, it's likely that a radar detector is the least of your illegal items in it. :sun: And I do have a radar detector, it is pretty reliable, though it doesn't offer the VG2 cloaking. Ah well, doesn't bother me, I've gotten good at spotting cops as well, and I know where they like to hide around me.

There are a couple of things to remember when purchasing a radar detector:
1. Is it legal to have one where you live? I don't mean that you can't own one, but if you get pulled over and the policeman sees it, are you going to get a ticket for having it and will it be taken from you? Also, there is such a device that detects radar detectors! Some places use them. Your radar detector puts out EMI at the frequencies that it is listening for a police radar. A detector can pick up that EMI and the cops will pull you over for having a radar detector in operation.
2. Your driving habits! Even with the best radar detector, you must change you driving habits and drive smart. Many police drive or sit with the radar gun on standby waiting for a possible speeder. When it looks good, they turn on the radar. Your detector won't save you then! You just don't go out and speed thinking you are safe! Use your brains and watch the road ahead and behind. Open spaces give you plenty of warning. Twisting roads or even hills can block and reflect radar pulses that your detector would have picked up a mile or two sooner.

My detector even has GPS built-in. But I still use my head!
