ARE DETECTORS LEGAL?
In Most States YES!
Laser detectors are completely legal in every state, (with the
exception of Virginia and Washington, D.C., which have
local regulations restricting the use of radar receivers in any
vehicle), when used in automobiles or light trucks (under
10,000 lbs.). Concerning trucks over 10,000 lbs., the Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA) issued a regulation, effec-
tive January, 1994 which prohibits radar and laser detector
use in these types of vehicles nationally.
Prior to the FHWA regulation, laws existed in the state of
New York restricting the use of radar detectors in trucks
over 18,000 lbs. and in Illinois in trucks over 26,000 lbs.
