Radar
Q: I thought radar detectors are illegal?
A: For personal vehicles radar detectors are only illegal in Virginia, Washington D.C. and military bases. In all other 49 U.S. states they are completely legal.
Q: Can police use radar while they are driving?
A: Yes they can! Radar can obtain your speed when a officer is driving behind you, in front of you and even driving the opposite direction driving towards you.
Q: Why don't you offer a wireless radar detector?
A: Since wireless radar detectors use batteries, your power slowly decreases immediately as you begin using the detector which means your range decreases over time without warning. Because of this, we will never sell a battery powered radar detector and never recommend using one.
Laser
Q: Can police use laser while they are driving?
A: No, a police officer must be stationary to use a laser (LIDAR gun) to obtain your speed.
Q: Is your laser defense system illegal?
A: It is only illegal in the following states: California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska (questionable), Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Washington DC.
Troubleshooting
Q: My radar detector didn't alert me of a police officer. Is it defective?
A: Just because police are in a vehicle does not mean they have their radar system powered on. Also, if you see a officer with a electronic gun in their hand it could be a laser gun where they were aiming at other vehicles around you.
Q: I just drove by a camera, how do I know if it is a red light or speed camera?
A: Most cameras on traffic lights are simply traffic monitoring cameras and do not give any citations, however please check this article for more information.
