Virginia has a law which bans radar detectors. They have a fine racket going along I-77 where local jurisdictions send out unmarked cars and split their ticket proceeds with the state. They will do crap such as tailgate the drivers, box them in behind slow trucks, then drop back enough for you pass and nail you with a speeding ticket when you do.

The traffic is relatively light on this stretch of interstate. Meanwhile, sections of I-81 and I-95 are heavily traveled and everyone speeds a lot more. If they don't, they become road kill.

My Garmin GPS actually has a built in radar detector. I'm supposed to disable the feature when I drive in Virginia. It's all about making life easier for the highway robbers who hide behind a badge and a "Smokey the Bear" hat.

Yes, well familiar with the stretch of hell known as the 66 miles of I-77 through VA. Bland County Sheriff et al. Bland, per its name, must have zero crime as 100% of cops are on the interstate 100% of the time.

A cousin of mine was relieved of his radar detector. No ticket, but they have a detector detector!

As before, Waze is indispensable and perfectly legal, much to the chagrin of cops.
