What happens if a cop pulls you over and you have a radar detector?
If you have a detector and get pulled over, you best hide that jewel. If the officer knows you have one, he will not consider issuing a warning, but will write a speeding ticket for the exact speed he caught you at (no reduction). We do not appreciate those devices. They are illegal in some states.
Do you have to mount radar detector on windshield?
A radar detector is best mounted as high up in the vehicle as possible so that the detector has a good range of radar detection. The most common and the standard location for mounting the radar detector would be on the front windshield of the vehicle, near or around the center of the rearview mirror.
Do cops care if you have a radar detector?
Yes, but not in the way you think. For the most part, a Radar detector is a passive system. It does not emit a signal to be detected. So a police radar is not going to detect the radar detector.
