Radar Detectors

[macdog]

This is a pretty sensitive topic so I cant say much, but basically my recommendation is if you dont know what your doing dont get one. Me an my cousin have both been using RD's for awhile now, first time using one in a place sooooo illegal, there are products I DO recommend but for 140 your not going to get ANYTHING good especially since they will be detected by the cops and you'll get raped.

I like your input mate...

hahaha. Enough said.

Can cops detect your car with a Radar Detector in it?

DO they have a detector to detect the detector..?

LOL!

[Birds]

they can pretty much ransack your car if they think you have one cant they?

Yep, as far as I know.

My off the record advice...if you buy one be willing to lose it. You might want to practice buying a couple and smashing them on the ground because that's what you'll have to do in 2 seconds if you ever see a cop give chase after detecting it.

I used to have one of these...the real deal ones cost a few hundred and you need to buy them from America. These will beep at service station automatic doors while you drive along the highway, and scream bloody murder if someone has a radar lock on you. Plenty of cops locked radar on me and they never detected my unit. But I kept it underneath a towel on the dash (cause you're just a f**kin idiot if you go showing it off like a G-tech), nearby and ready to throw out the window if I saw a cop get in his car or pull out on me. As illegal as they are, I don't believe they should be...they do the job that the cops should be doing, i.e. deterring speed instead of extracting revenue from it. If they put fake radars everywhere these people wouldn't speed...but the government wouldn't get cash

last i heard they have detector detectors, and if they think you have one in your car GL.

As funny as this is, yes

And believe it or not people have come up with detectors to reveal their radar detector detectors. It stretches that far. As long as there is an infrared beam going out it can be detected!

Reminds me of that movie "The Big Hit". The trace buster buster buster!

Heck yes the do I'm pretty sure not all coppers are fitted with them but RDD's do exsist if you really want to 1-up them you can get a Radar Detector Detector Detector (RDDD) which will detect them trying to detect you.... I know it's confusing but there is a whole world of Radar Detection if your really intrested i recommended www.radardetector.net

They have probably all the info you need but with top of the line products (which you should be able to find with a couple Google clicks) you shouldnt have to worry about detection, also FYI if you do end up searching and comparing products Beltronics IS Escort, escort acquired them in 2000 they are known as Belscort by enthusiasts

The only radar/laser detector which is tested as undetectable by "radar detector detectors" used by police is the Beltronics STi / STi XR. I used to have one, but got over it and sold it. Top unit. The valentine one sometimes has more range and a cool directional "bogie" counter system, but it's detectable by RDD's.

Yeah, interesting points there fellas.

Ah well, stick to the speed limit and you'd be fine

Never said I didn't get caught in the end

[xALmoN]

so, whats the penalty? since you got caught...

[Birds]

They make you crush your own detector

[gdogzgtr]

I have been searching this alot and I can't tell you the actual penalty as it's a summons to court offence so it's up to the Magistrate as to what penalty you will get. I have found that it's offence to possess, use, sell or own a device under Road Safety Act 127/1986 Section 74 (1).

Hope this helps and obviously they can be detected and vehicle searched for same and if located should be seized for court and eventually disposed of.
