If you were to ever ride through the nanny state of Virginia, you best remove it and pack it deep, deep into your saddlebags. It is illegal to possess a radar detector here and they will confiscate it as evidence. If you want it back, it will cost you more in storage and processing fees that what you paid for it in the first place.
For the uninitiated it is a device that can be used to detect police speed radar at a range that they can't detect you reliably so it gives you time to lose some throttle and avoid a ticket
My recommendation is to go with the tried and true RightWrist Restrainer. That, excellent situational awareness and some good common sense is about as failsafe as it gets!!!
