One of the reasons they make pocket radar detectors, as far as I know,
is because you can hide them on your person.

In some jurisdictions, the police need a much better excuse to perform
a body search on your private person. (He said redundantly)
Usually they have to reasonably believe you have drugs, or something.

Thus if you take the pocket detector from your visor and put it in your
pocket, they can't usually search your pocket.

Anybody know what the rule is in Ontario?  As far as I know they are allowed
to search your CAR if they have reason to believe you have an illegal
receiver in it, but I don't know what the rules are on your person.

Seems to me it would make sense to put a sensor up under the hood, not on
the dash.  They look around your passenger compartment, but I have never
had a cop check under the hood.
