I have heard the story about the Police pulling over a guy who flashed his
brake lights when they zapped him with the radar gun. The cop said something 
to the gist of:

"I know you have a Radar Detector, you can show me where it is hidden, or 
we can tow your car to the station and tear it aart till we find it."

Sort of negates the hide-it-in-the-hood philosophy.
