Their logic is that since radar detectors are effective at greater-than-line-of-sight distances, a radar equipped patrol car can effectively slow down a much larger area if he is depending on being seen. They further reason that since the primary purpose of a patrol car is to promote safe driving, not catch speeders, it is to their advantage for all individuals to own and use a radar detector.
