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 . . .



I think you might be screwed
