I drive through VA all the time, already had 1 Radar detector taken and ticked just for having it there and wasn't even speeding. Not to mention the speeding tickets I have gotten since then bye not having a detector at all. So i figured it will pay for itself easy over time. Now don't get me wrong I'm not a super speed freak, I don't speed in school zones or zig zag through highway traffic or shoot down streets in residential areas, I don't run red lights and so on but i do like to drive offensively and the way cops are today not all but a lot there trying to make $$$$$ for the state and i would say 75% of the tickets they give out are not for safety but just to make bank or complete a quota. Every ticket i have ever gotten was on a highway with smooth traffic in an area where no problems or wrecks have happened and not on the same road each time either, but as soon as you get near a city or area with crazy traffic and dangerous situations there isn't a cop to be seen so it only shows me if the state (any state) would spend as much time and effort and $ in not catching speeders but in lets say catching criminals, drug dealers, murderers, rapists and so on it would make the city/town's much safer for everyone. But doing that cost the state more $$ with hardly any return. sorry didn't mean to get on that tangent. It wasn't directed at anyone here i promise. I just hate getting tickets for nothing dangerous or unlawful and paying the payroll of the judges and cops. I thought our taxes were supposed to
