Then, if that is what you are trying to get across, say it that 
way.  Your poor diction causes the wrong impression to be given.  

If you had said ".....people of the state seem to like...", I 
                                          ^^^^^^^  
would agree with you.  With the law in effect it is obvious that 
a majority either don't care about, or actually like, the radar 
detector ban.
