So if you have a Fuzzbuster, then you have the intention of speeding. So given that you are probably not caught having it the day you bought it before you were given an opportunity to illegally break the speed limit, you must have already speeded. So having a Fuzzbuster is illegal because its very posession implies that you deserve a speeding ticket (or hundred) and that you are continuing to speed and be a hazard to other motorists. I know that one Ontario resident challenged the law and won when he equipped all the cars of his employees with Fuzzbusters because the factory where he worked produced characteristic radio signals which would trigger the fuzzbuster he prurchased under several conditions, some of which would require his employees to leave the shipping yard which was beside the employee parking lot for their *own safety* -- he did this after an accident occurred ... i cant remember the exact details... and he got off because it was demonstrated that he *did* have a legal purpose to apply Fuzzbusters. The law may have tightened up since then, though... I think that there are other *States* which dont allow Radar Detectors -- Virginia?? laura creighton decvax!utzoo!laura
