Using radar detectors are illegal in Virginia and Washington, DC.
Personally I never heard of anyone aving to give up their personal property but I have read about it. Could be an urban legend. I've also read whee people keep crappy detectors to hand over to the revenue agents.

Radar detector detectors can't pick up V1s.
Everytime a slammed down Honda passes me my V1 goes beserk because it is picking up all of the leakage of his crappy detector.

I have mine mounted near the sunroof switch and a hidden display in the ash tray. I use it in VA too since you can't see it from the outside unless the sunroof is open.
