They are legal in Michigan, although it may sway a cop not to go easy on ya. Your best defense against speeding tickets is still a cautious eye; slow down for speed traps. Remember radar detecters detect radar, not police. With that said, my detecter has paid for itself many times by now.

I oned a POS one when I was around 17. Got more tickets with it than w/o. I've been driving for 15 years and my only tickets were when I had a radar. Experiance will get you far. You can tell after a few years what you should and shouldn't do. Stay with the flow and keep it a tick under 80 on the freeway. Stay in the right lane except to pass i.e. don't weave in and out of traffic like an ass. Keep your eye on oncoming traffic. And if you do get pulled over don't lie. Also keep all papers ready in the glove box. Also helps not looking like a douche bag. Keep a decent hair cut and dress. Look respectable. Helps not no have a red 2 door as well.

Radar detectors are legal in mi, If your looking to go fast and have the best coverage go with the one from escort, it has a censor that you mount in the front and rear of your car, it also has a laser jammer supposedly, in any case your looking to shell out like a G, however its saved my buddy numerous times, im about to get one cause i can get it for $350, from my work.
hope i was helpful

passive jammers are legal, those are the ones that turn on only when they detect a signal, which means it trys to scramble the laser/radar on the way back to the gun, i would give it a 25% effectiveness. Howewver, active jammers are illegal, they scramble any radar/laser signal that comes near it because it is always on. The laser scramblers work with lEDs mounted in the bumper that confuse the laser by showing it more than one read, these are illegal everywhere and so are active radar scramblers. If you buy a detector get an Escort Passport 8500 or a V1.

Or you can just drive around the speed limit, or at the flow of traffic. Going fast just allows you to catch up to that one guy who loves to go slow. Unless you are on a long trip, going excessively fast will only save you a couple minutes AT MOST! Go ahead, calculate it.
