Sounds like they're a no-go item here in Ontario, working or not:
Highway Traffic Act
Quote:
79. (1) In this section,
â??speed measuring warning deviceâ? means any device or equipment designed or intended for use in a motor vehicle to warn the driver of the presence of speed measuring equipment in the vicinity and includes any device or equipment designed or intended for use in a motor vehicle to interfere with the effective operation of speed measuring equipment. 1996, c. 33, s. 12.
Speed measuring warning device prohibited
(2) No person shall drive on a highway a motor vehicle that is equipped with or that carries or contains a speed measuring warning device. 1996, c. 33, s. 12.
Powers of police officer
(3) A police officer may at any time, without a warrant, stop, enter and search a motor vehicle that he or she has reasonable grounds to believe is equipped with or carries or contains a speed measuring warning device contrary to subsection (2) and may seize and take away any speed measuring warning device found in or upon the motor vehicle. 1996, c. 33, s. 12.
Forfeiture of device
(4) Where a person is convicted of an offence under this section, any device seized under subsection (3) by means of which the offence was committed is forfeited to the Crown. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 79 (4).

Under the law, that doesn't matter. You are subject the laws and regulations of the jurisdiction that you are in at that moment in time.

if what you said is correct that yes you are good to go.
THe law says operating a vehicle with the device, if the device isnt plugged in and or recieving any sort of power input, is not in the fuctioning capacity, is not in an area that even had it been funcitoning it would have been able to detect radar yada yada yada - those suction cups might well have been for a note pad or for a car charger for all they can prove. It does look like the law allows them to search your car, but to charge you with possesion of a radar device is different from USING the device. It doesnt say anything above about possesion of the device.
subsection 2 might be a hang up - but then subsection 6 clearly states that if its wrapped up . . .
