[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by edbenton High Iron what do you think they are doing when they force you to run over a dector they are technicaly forcing you to destroy your own property under duress. However the best tool for destroying an air horn is a cutting torch or plasma cutter turns them into nice itty bitty pieces real nicely. [/quote] Ok. Let's see here. Congress recently made it a rule that NO commercial vehicle may have a device designed to sense or alert to speed devices such as laser or radar. This law was passed some years ago. This covers all 48 states. Trucking companies now automatically fire drivers if they recieve a police citation that shows a detector was in the truck. Prior to Congress's actions some states banned detectors while others had no rule. Theoraticaly you could carry a detector in Montana but you better not have it hooked up and operating in Virginia. Let's say you are at a weight station undergoing inspection and they visually identified a detector on your dashboard. (there are many many custom ways to camoflauge these devices but let's keep tiit simple for this post) You will be given a citation for that detector. Then you will be told to remove the device and place it under your steer tire. If you refuse then they could arrest you or write further citations. The big question is that 200 dollar radar detector gonna still be worth it after you are handed a stack of citations worth 600-? plus loss of your job when you company finds out and in addition to any violations in your logbook that may shut you down and place you way late for your delivery (also a actionable service failure problem) I would run over that detector with my steer. Duress? heh. That I can try to fight in thier county seat at the court house on my time, expense and lawyers. Time which takes me away from the road making a living. I recall we went thru the same feelings when people started placing very very powerful sound systems in the cars a decade ago.
