I know they're illegal here in québec but I have a simple question. Can a cop detect a radar detector w/ VG2 protection??

Anything is possible. The cops use a 'radar detector' detector to search for radar detectors. the VG2 is supposed to detect this device and shut down/cloak your detector. :roll:

Radar detectors are illegal in canada. When used in an automobile at least.<p>[ March 25, 2002: Message edited by: zytariuk ]

Actually I could be mistaken, but I do believe that they are legal here in BC.

I'm pretty sure theyre legal in Canada, at least in BC. But are Scramblers illegal? and what is a good brand?

VG2 is old news now for cops.<BR>They can detect it already.<BR>If you want a good one look at the Bell 980.<BR>It works through software programming rather than circuit boards. You need to get them from the US, but get this: They make them in Mississauga Ontario and you can call them and ask about the product and the legalities of it all. They have told me that in the Windsor Ontario area they are detectable. But the 980 can be re-programmed via their web site and and a switch box cable. So upgrading is easy. The 980 has payed for its self 10 times over already. I even wave to the cops i drive by when its telling me "laser radar detected!" While they are scrathing their heads... :D

I have the Bel 980 and it works. Cops when they FREQUENTLY pull me over for harrasments sake, and their PURE enjoyment I'm sure, see it and never have said a word, amongst other things. I also have the Blinder M-10 Laser Detrector/Jammer. It's an "active," not "passive," jammer so it's illegal, but I have it completely hidden. Anyways, this little thing makes me 100% (no joke - tried tested and true) invisible to any laser out there these days.<P>Just thought I'd put my 10 cents in.<P>~Aiden

I have the Bell 980 and it works 100% of the time. No tickets. Once i was in Mississauga and the emergency warning went off. I was a little worried and went to the factory for some info. The factory is right here in Mississauga and they were very informative. They said around Windsor and Detroit they are detecting them but there will be new software that can be downloaded from the Bell site that will re-program the anti-radar. It is the best investment i have made since the 2.5L swap.
