LOL,
well I am also part of a group trying to overturn the law making radar detectors
illegal in Va. They are only illegal in Va and D.C. and most of the time,
whether im speeding or not, if I hear my radar go off, I slow up or at least
check my speed. But Va gvt feels that if you have one it tempts you to speed.
But i speed whether I have one or not and having it our car has saved me
hundreds of dollars in speeding tickets. Also the majority of cops in Va dont
usually pull you over for having one. I got pulled over once for a burnt out
tail light and the cop saw it sitting on the dash and just asked me if i knew
they were illegal and I said yeah and he said ok just checking,
LOL.....
I was wondering that myself, but
wasn't going to ask. lol

The fees cover the theoretical cost of
filing the motions (the guilty plea, etc) and the filing costs of the public
record. They are also punitive in nature so probably don't reflect
actual cost.
The question that I have is why would he
have it *in the window* when he knows they are illegal. That doesn't
make a whole lot of sense. It would be like running around Miami with
a kilo of coke on your dash.

I
guess they just dismiss it from your record.....Now I can see if you go to
court and have it dismissed still having to pay court costs, but I always
thought paying the ticket was an admission of guilt and if it's paid before
the court date, then why does the judge have to even look at the case,
especially if you arent required to show up at court.
I know what you mean, I've had
cases dismiss the ticket but you still have to pay court cost...and wind
up paying $100 or more. That always seemed wrong to me, that the ticket
could be dismissed and you still wind up paying $100.....

It just seems stupid, although I know the counties get their
money from those court costs, but why pay them if you arent even
going.
Court Cost where we lived
in Louisiana most of the time were around $100 or so...so be glad it's
just $50. lol But yeah, know what you mean. lol

Ahhh did you really need to post this one today. Hubby got
nailed for having a radar dectector yesterday and the stupid thing
wasnt even plugged in. (remember they are illegal in Va). The cop
saw it in the window and didnt care it didnt even have a power
supply going to it (it was at home here with me) gave him the ticket
anyway. $94 for a stupid radar detector. Oh and $50 of that is court
costs which I dont see why you have to pay court costs if you pay
the ticket (which admits your guilt) before the court
date.
Will a radar detector always warn you
when you're under surveillance?
Not necessarily - A basic
radar detector won't do you much good if the police officer drives
up behind you and turns on the radar gun. The detector will alert
you, but by that time, the officer already has all the information
he or she needs. In many cases, however, detectors pick up the
signal before the speeding car can be tracked. Police often leave
their radar guns turned on for a long period of time, instead of
activating them after sneaking up behind a car.
