Not to get off the subject but if you are ever rolling through VA, as I was and in my truck I hang my cell phone on my ceiling above my rear view, make sure to take it down!!! While he had me on the side of the road he was snooping through my truck from the window of course..I saw him look up at my ceiling and he said to me " You know those are illegal in VA don't you?" I said "What a cell phone?" He said "Oh I thought it was a radar detector!!" So you tell me, was he just bored or what?? Seems like he was just finding stuff to ticket me on. So hide your cell phones when driving through VA to save you the trouble. I still can't believe he gave me a ticket for going 77 in a 65 and that was keeping up with traffic....Oh well!!!! Hmmmm..Maybe they should make a radar detector that looks like a cell phone.....hmmmmm...Thanks for all the info everyone
:razz2: I've been living here for 11 years or so, and I've been told the VA Police are death on radar detectors. If you want to donate to the Greater VA Commonweath's coffers, the best and surest way to do it is to display a detector while driving there! I do not know what the issue is with them, but it's true.Originally posted by Woodrow

Also, law enforcement will generally let you slide with going 5 - 6 mph over the limit; I'd say you pushed that envelope too far!
