Virginia and Mississippi- the only 2 states with radar detector bans - Lemmy.world

WHY??? Had a radar detector in other states I’ve lived in and think this made me an overall more mindful driver about speeding. There’s also evidence that the ban of these devices have no impact on speeding in general. More arguments in the link… What’s everyone’s thoughts on this? Are Virginia and Mississippi the two states that got it right?

It’s quite ridiculous. I don’t care about radar detectors but the police can emit concentrated radio waves or lasers at our vehicles, but we aren’t allowed to use devices that detect them? I’m surprised this hasn’t been defeated in court, maybe no one cares enough. A radar detector in practice doesn’t seem very different from Waze spotting speed traps or people talking about them online, it’s just using technology to be informed.
