I'm kind of surprised that would be illegal, or at the very least enforced.
It's illegal to use a radar detector here, but in areas where they are
allowed, I can't imagine the police would like them.

If people do use devices to trigger radar detectors, it will make speeders
slow down, and all the false alarms will make them trust their radar
detector less, so they're more likely to still be caught by police.

Both results seem to be things the police (if not the politicians) would
like to encourage.
