radar detector
Ticket prevention device
A radar detector is a device that alerts drivers to nearby police radar guns used for speed enforcement.
Mounted on dashboards or windshields, it gives advance warning so drivers can slow down before being clocked.
Radar detectors are legal in most U.S. states for passenger vehicles but banned in commercial trucks and in some jurisdictions entirely.
