Radar Detector Locations?
I just got a radar detector. It is a Whistler. I have read conflicting information in regard as to where to place it. Some say to place it high on the windshield and others say to place it on the dash board to make it able to detect lasers better. (Lasers are usually aimed at the front license plate area). Also, if i get pulled over (they are legal in my state), will the cop give me a ticket or something if its on? I have read that a lot of people said on their K1 systems they use the remote to shut it off if they get pulled over. Do you hide it even though it isnt illegal? Thanks!
I would suggest you read the manufacturers instructions for a recommendation of placement.
Unless the detectors are illegal, there is nothing the officer can do if you have one. You probably shouldn't waste your time hiding it, the officer will probably know you have one anyway.
It is usually quite easy for me to tell, the brakes usually slam on, and you can actually see the front of the car dip when the brakes are applied hard. This makes very good evidence in court when the driver raises the question of if was actually them being clocked.
