Radar Detector Detectors (VG-2) Spectre
The Interceptor VG-2, or simply VG-2, is a
microwave receiver used by police to detect
signals radiated by the local oscillator of a radar
detector. Because its purpose is to identify
persons driving with radar detectors, the VG-2
is known as a “radar detector detector”. The
VG-2 is a tool used by the police to identify radar
detector equipped vehicles. If caught, in a state
where detectors are illegal, (see Are Detectors
legal section in this guide), drivers risk losing
their radar detector and receiving a fine. In
addition, instant-on radar is almost always used
in combination with a VG-2, leaving unsuspecting
motorists vulnerable to receiving two tickets—one
potentially for speeding, the other for possession
of a detector. Having a radar detector capable of
detecting the VG-2 may alert you to the presence
of a speed trap.
It is the responsibility of the individual radar
detector operator to know and understand the
laws in your area regarding the legality of the
use of radar detectors
.
NOTE:
The newest tool Police have to detect
radar detectors is called Spectre. Spectre can
detect the majority of undetectable (VG-2) laser/
radar detectors on the market.
