Not in Va
Radar detectors are ILLEGAL in Virginia. If you are stopped in Virginia with a detector in your possession, it will be immediately seized and you have NO recourse. They can tell if you have one on ......

It has nothing at all to do with a need for speed. A JK with auto, 4.10's and 35's sure doesn't have anything at all with that 
It has to do with wanting to know when my speed is being monitored. And I don't know about where you guys live, but around here the majority of the cars on any given road are exceeding the speed limits- which BTW are intentionally set too low in order to provide the city with a huge source of revenue.
I have co-workers that show up to work bitching about the stupid ticket they got on the way to work. And every time I point out to them that a radar detector is cheaper than the ticket.
I don't use it as a "license to speed". I just use it to give me a warning that there might be a reason to actually "watch" my speed while everyone else blows by me. Thus saving me money that I can use on mods
I am simply blown away by the amount of people that have this perception that if you own a radar detector it means you are racing from light to light, or attempting to go 100mph on the freeway. Which is totally wrong.
