Federal Laws Governing the Use of
Radar Detectors
It is not against federal law to receive radar
transmissions with your Cobra
®
radar
detector. The Communications Act of 1924
guarantees your right to receive radio
transmissions on any frequency. Local laws
that contravene this Act, while illegal, may
be enforced by your local law enforcement
officials until and unless they are prohibited
from doing so by federal court action.
Safety Alert

Use of this product is not intended to, and
does not, ensure that motorists or

accidents. It is only intended to alert the
motorist that an emergency vehicle equipped

®
Safety Alert

transmitter is
within range as defined by that product.
Please call local fire and police departments
to learn if coverage exists in your area.
Safe Driving

or service vehicles, are expected to exercise
