You guys allowed radar detectors.

It's a grey area, Allowed to own but not too use I believe cops don't really care though. Iv'e been looking into investing in a good radar recently...

did not see any cars with radar detectors on windows, and did not see any highway patrol :/ 

 

didnt see any nice cars either except 1 rx7 and a few beat up xr6 n/a's. theres sooo many rangers etc there though.

Yep, detectors are legal, po po use KA band, pole mounted and MOBILE speed cameras use K band, X Band isnt used at all so with an STI or similar have only KA and Laser on to avoid falsing, I turn on K band only when travelling between cities, not around home base as such.

Go on trademe and pick up an STI for $350 odd, they're a good unit, get the amplified speaker too if you can to hear it over the radio etc and hardwire in. Don't leave it low on the screen with a curly cord advertising its presence when parked unattended as the thieving f--ks will have it quick as a flash and on sold on TM.
