Radar detectors are also illegal in Virginia.

Re monitoring:  this can't be the case.  For example, it is illegal in
all states that I know about to have a police scanner IN YOUR CAR.  

I would be interested in hearing if any of these laws (anti-radar detector) have
ever been challanged in court.  I find the fact that you can be prosecuted for
having tools for a crime without ever committing a crime highly disturbing.
