Radar Detectors in the Northeast

[1EvilC5]

I will be visiting the Northeast and was wondering if there are any state(s) that it is illegal to use a radar detector in. Will be in NJ, NY, CT, RI and MA. Thanks in advance.

As far as I know your OK in Connecticut. I think there is a website someplace that lists all the states where detectors are illegal. Maybe someone here will know where that site is.

Elaine:
I thought so too but check out the link. It indicates that the ban was repealled in 1998.

Even so,
Vette + Detector + speed + Mr Trooper = Oh s_ _ t, expensive ticket!

you can use them in Ct. now.

I think they left the signs up for a few years saying they were illeagle to discourage people from using them.

Thanks to everyone for their assistance. Hopefully I will see some nice rides on the New England highways. Remember it is not winter yet. Drive them while you still can.

Detectors are legal in all those states. I believe they were illegal at one time in CT, but not anymore. Also, CT State Police use a lot of laser - I found the hard way.

NY State they are not legal.

NY State Troopers, at least from what I've seen, use the laser a lot on the major highways. I've encountered a lot of "instant on" radar too being used by the troopers.

You're alright to use them in NH

Down here as well. Lots of speed traps everywhere in the burbs, westchester and Long Island.


When will you be visiting?

[bogus]

for clarification, Virginia is the only state left in the US that has a detector law.

damned commies.

Will be flying out tonight arriving around 1:30 in the morning. Will be staying in New Jersey until Monday. We will most likely visit New York City during the weekend. Then traveling up to Boston for a few days during the week. Then back to NJ for a couple of days.

Any recommendations on Great food or places to visit while I am up there.

Radars are ok in NJ, cops don't like them but they can't do anything about them.

[scorp508]

MA state police use Laser & Ka band.

If you're going down a highway and start getting K band stronger and stronger it is probably going to be an orange highway construction sign. The state started outfitting these things with radar to help confuse motorists into thinking a trooper was nearby.
