You people realize, of course, that this is completely irrelevant in states like
Connecticut, where radar detectors are illegal.  I have no idea what the fine is
for getting caught with one, but I know that they are definitely illegal.  I
also know that Conn. state police seem to be a lot more on the job than the Mass
state police.  I have a friend who lives in Conn. who got pulled over twice in
one week, and by the same cop, on two completely different stretches of road
that were miles apart from each other, actually on two different highways!!
