its illegal to have a "jammer" but not a radar detector.

It seems like only in Virgina and Washington it is illigal. I was just reading a package about this and it mentioned that STI Driver is completely undetectable by radar detector dectors in case you live in such area.
Here is the page:

But could some one comment on how useful these are?
So if you have one, you would "never" end up getting a speeding ticket if the police uses a radar gun?

Thanks

not true! radar dectotors can do so much but it all depends on how you drive.. If you drive all crazy and you're looking for a radar dectetor to save ur a$$ then this ain't for you lol

the V1 is just to warn you of police units trying to catch you with their radar... It's no good if they don't have their radar on... but that goes to all dectetors anyway...

if you're a regular speeder, Good Luck!
