Be careful. Waterloo cops use instant-on radar all the time. I learned    
it the hard way (although I managed to hide the detector and talk him
out of the demerit points). Radar detectors are illegal to have in your
car (even in the trunk). If you are caught, there is a fine and they
take your detector away. However, considering you can get detectors for
as cheap as $90 in the US, it's not long before you're back on the 
possitive side (not even counting insurance savings).
