averett -- radar detectors are only illegal in virginia (and DC, i believe).
my advice to you, wrkime, is to go to the court hearing rather than just pay the ticket. i recently got a ticket completely dismissed because i showed up to contest it but the officer did not. the other time i got a ticket and went to court for it, i asked for a plea bargain... i paid more money (still only $160 total) and got it reduced to "parking ticket status", which means it was off my record the very next day.
my only other advice is to buy a good radar detector... and by that i mean a valentine one. i consistently get warning over a full mile ahead of where the cop is... and since cops typically radar at distances of around 1/4 mile, i have plenty of time to slow down before getting nabbed.
