Detector Invisibility


Most of us don’t have to worry about getting a ticket just for possessing a detector. There is a short list, however, where this is an issue: detectors are illegal in Virginia, Washington D.C., U.S. military bases and most parts of Canada. If you drive a big commercial vehicle, there are federal D.O.T. regulations that prohibit detectors in all states. The cops have two devices at their disposal that can detect that you have a detector. They are known as radar-detector detectors, or R.D.D.s for short. The more common device, used for almost 20 years, is called the VG-2 Interceptor, built in Canada. A much newer brand called the Spectre is now available as well. There are confirmed reports that the D.O.T. folks have purchased these newer Spectre units. There are a number of detectors that are invisible to the VG-2, but if you drive a commercial vehicle you’ll want to take a look at units that are also invisible to the Spectre as well. So far there’s only one that’s cracked that code, the Bel STi Driver.
