First I heard about this:

http://michiganmedicalmarijuana.org/topic/45943-police-depar...

What is the legal status of using something like CatcherCatcher? (in other words, could you get in trouble for using it in the same way that you can get in trouble in many places for having a radar detector?)




Only if CatcherCatcher is made explicitly illegal, like the legislature of Virginia and the city council of Washington D.C. have made radar detectors illegal. Those are the only two places (and military bases) that radar detectors are illegal for passenger cars in the United States.


I did not know that radar detectors were illegal on military bases, let alone in VA/DC. Thank you for the heads-up. :)
