Hey guys. I'm planning on getting a radar detector sometime in the near future and was just wondering if these are even legal.

I'm pretty sure they are but I just want to double check to make sure. Also, what kind of detector do you guys reccomend? I was thinking of just getting a cobra but I herd they're a bit over-rated. I just want to get the best bang for my $100 and under budget. Thanks for feedback!

They have a stealthy install kit, most cops won't see it if it doesn't mount on the windshield.

 

They are legal. V1 is what I have and I wouldn't use anything else. Way above your said budget though.

 

V1 all the way. Don't get caught w/o it

Oh and btw...before you get overconfident, I hope you know they've installed cameras and speed sensors under the overpasses on the NJ Turnpike. Cop's nowhere in sight...they can either mail you a ticket, or have a cop up ahead waiting for you. Kinda tough, seeing that the flow of traffic on the NJTP is like 85mph! lol

was never aware of this..
have v1 and have never picked these up and im on the turnpike on an almost daily basis..

 

Thank god they're legal. I would love v1 I've herd nothing but good things aboutbthem but that's waaaaaaay over my budget. Any other reccomendations? Suggestions?

Wasn't aware of the camera thing either but I'm not a turnpike commuter so I doubt that'll effect me much.

 

Are you sure about in new jersey?

And yeah the flow on that highway is like 90, crazy ****.

BTW, yeah get a V1, thats what i have and i love it.

 

info on these traffic cams?

 

He's absolutely right. I have seen them in a few places. If I remember right, there is one going southbound between exits 12 and 11.

 

Yea the NJ cops actually just bought a ton of new equipment that *should* be undetectable to traditional radar detectors. I guess it works! haha. That's your tax money being well spent

Yes, I'm sure Rob. Is the NJ turnpike in a state other than NJ?

None. I didn't come across this in writing; I'm friends w/ some NJ law enforcement. Got a head's up about the camera and the new equipment. Actually, I couldn't tell if it was giving me a head's up, or bragging haha

Watch your mailbox closely I dunno where they are, but I can ask and see if 1) my friend knows, and 2) he'll tell me. Also, there are a few favorite spots for the Po-po to sit and hide on the turnpike. Check 'em out here: http://www.speedtrap.org/speedtraps/...y.asp?state=NJ

LOL i know and thats why i wanted to make sure. Some people get turnpike and njtp confused. I thought you worded it wrong.

Damn, this sucks
