In VA, the cop can take it as evidence but it is returned after court. Unless your an asshole, most cops aren't going to bother taking it since its more paperwork for them. Usually they just write down the serial # and hand it back to you since its just an equipment violation like tint or exhaust

The padded envelope is a good idea, never thought of that. Looks like I'll be dropping by the post office on my way home tonight.

Radar detectors are not illegal to own or posses but illegal to operate. If a cop tryed to give me a ticket for one in my trunk i whould fight it and win...

i use the sti driver hardwired in and mounted to the headliner, i have been searched one time. The cop grabbed it dident realize what it was and continued with his search so im not ever really worried about a ticket now.
