When I buy the Evo I will be driving it back to Canada, and then driving it in Canada for a year (Please don't ask me how, I have discussed this a number of times in previous threads). The car will have American plates and insurance, etc. etc. but I am just wondering if I would get in a lot of trouble for using a radar detector in Canada even though I will be driving in Canada as an American citizen.

I have heard a lot of stories from people saying that cops can't really do anything in Canada to American drivers, so I was just wondering if I would be told "Hey buddy, those things are illegal here so be careful!" or if I would actually get a ticket if I was caught with a radar detector.

Anyone have any experiences they would like to share? If not with radar detectors, then with speeding, etc. in Canada.

If I won't get in trouble I'll be grabbing one as soon as I grab the evo.

I go to college in WA right near the border of Canada. The whole "cops can't do anything in Canada ti American drivers" argument isn't true at all. I know many people who have gotten speeding tickets, given the cop a hard time, and been thrown in jail for it. Obey the local laws.
