Most Police Vehicles are equipped with Forward and Rear Facing Radar.

Most Police Departments now have Lidar which has become more popular.

In the state of VA a Radar/Lidar Detector can be confiscated even if the detector is not is use.

Speaking about radar detector, I've just got a ticket today.

Only 9 mph over.

Crabbs Branch Way, its 200 yards from the front of my office.

I think I went a little faster than that, he might have given me a break.
