Personally, I'd love to see them haul out the bomb squad and detonate the
package. In doing so they destroy their evidence of a radar dector existing
so they can't ticket you any more and at least you get to see the nifty
explosion so it's some entertainment there. All you are out then is your
radar detector and the taxpayers are out a ton of money for all the time and
effort.
The problem with all of this stuff is that doing illegal things gets you
into trouble with the law, it's kind of a cause and effect thing. If you
proceed to do illegal things, then by default you must be willing to accept
the consequences of your actions. This society is full of people who don't
want to follow the rules and then try to get out of the punishments: it's the
whole reason for the existance of lawyers. I have no pity available for those
that break the law then whine about it. If you don't like a states laws: move
out of that state. Montana is pretty lienent, just ask any local "Freeman" or
the Unibomber. You can drive around without a radar detector cause the cops
don't care how fast you go.
Do I speed? Sure, but I haven't gotten a ticket yet because I don't speed
like a madman. Been driving for years and years, still no moving violations
and I live in ticket happy California where our CHP officers have "STATE
TRAFFIC OFFICER" right on their badge: kinda let's you know what their main
job is.
So plug in that radar detector and fly around the roads. When you get
caught, just say "Ce'st la Vie" and get on with life. No need to try and out
think the cops: it's their jobs to out think the criminals.

>This situation probably won't now-adays in that the Post Office now has
very strigent sending policies on how to send bulky items, especially items
that bulge in packages. The detectors would look too much like bombs in the
way their shaped. The law officers would look at that package and call out
the BOMB SQUAD and detonate the package right where you sit--hopefully not
in your truck. You still trying to get out away from a ticket, you would
then say "Really Officer, It's not a bomb-I'll show you, and take it out of
the package. The Officer will see what it is(knowing, thats what he stopped
you for) and then write you up for,not only having a detector but also
trying to evade the police, and call up the postal Inspectors for sending
ILLEGAL Contraband through the mail in that STATE. So you see that there are
many senerios that the COPS could use just for having a detector in that
State. How do I know---I've been carrying the U.S. Mail for over 20 years---
