Here ya go........
District of Columbia (Washington, D.C.) - RADAR-detectors are illegal.
Illinois - Not regulated in passenger vehicles, but they are illegal used in commercial motor vehicles (which is redundant legislation, since Federal law makes that illegal in any U.S. state anyway; BUT, some states like to have it in their lawbooks so that they can charge added fines and penalties that would go to the state).
Minnesota - Radar detectors not specifically regulated, BUT - hanging things from windshields not permitted. So obviously, this would include radar detectors if they were hung from the windshield. However, I suppose they would be okay rested upon the top of the dashboard. (Hmm. Wonder. Does this include rear-view mirrors, too? [grin])
New York - (1996 law; no changes noted in 1999-2000 Supplement) - For commercial vehicles over 10,000lbs, and any vehicle over 18,000lbs, RADAR-detectors are illegal. [This is already covered by Federal law, as well.]
Virginia - (1998 law; no changes noted in 1999-2000 Supplement) - Use is illegal.
REPEALED LAWS:
Connecticut - Connecticut's anti-radar-detector law was repealed in 1998, and all the signs along the highways were taken down. RDs are now legal in Connecticut.
Illinois - Not regulated in passenger vehicles, but they are illegal used in commercial motor vehicles (which is redundant legislation, since Federal law makes that illegal in any U.S. state anyway; BUT, some states like to have it in their lawbooks so that they can charge added fines and penalties that would go to the state).

Not only that, but check this Sh?t out...
Went back home from NC last week and there was a new sign on the highway saying "Speed Enforced By Aircraft". WTF!!! Sheesh, you'd think they'd have something better to spend their money on.<p>98.5 A4 1.8TQT Melange/Onyx
