Federal Law Governing Use of
Radar Detectors
It is not against Federal Law to receive radar
transmissions on your COBRA Radar Detector.
The Communications Act of 1934 guarantees
your right to receive radio transmissions on
any frequency. Local laws that contravene the
Communications Act of 1934,while illegal,may
be enforced by your local law enforcement
officials until and unless they are prohibited from
doing so by Federal Court action.
WARNING: Before leaving your car, make sure
that you conceal your radar detector. This will
reduce the possibility of break-in and theft of
your unit.
