Nearly all states allows vehicle owners to install radar detector on cars, vans, trucks and motorbikes, except for Virginia and Washington DC. You should be aware that Minnesota forbids drivers to suspend anything on the windshield, so you need to mount the detector on the dashboard. In New York, radar detectors can't be used on vehicles that weigh over 18,000lbs
However, in 2002, a federal law was passed and it outlawed the use of radar detectors in any commercial vehicles that weigh more than 10,000lbs. You're not allowed to use cars with a radar detector in it, when entering a military base.


Many drivers mount scanners inside the car and when they're not used for anything illegal, it is usually allowed, except in New York, Minnesota, Kentucky, Indiana and Florida.
Any active devices such as radar jammers that can interfere police speed detector are illegal in most statesm including Washington DC, Virginia, Utah, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Minnesota, Illinois, Colorado, California and many others. You need to regularly check the latest regulation about this matter to stay informed. In general, radar detector is a passive device that only processes the incoming signal, so it is usually legal.
