Things to Remember About Radar Detectors

  • Valentine One is defined as a radio by the FCC. It receives only. It’s a passive device that in no way interferes with the communications or business of others.
  • The Federal Communication Act of 1934 guarantees the right to receive radio transmissions of all types on all frequencies. Traffic radar is not privileged communication: in fact, it’s not communication of any sort because no information is conveyed to another party. It is surveillance by radio waves, and that is not protected by any laws.
  • Some states and municipalities have laws prohibiting the use, or the possession, or both, of radar detectors. Please check local regulations before using your Valentine One.
  • Leaving your Valentine One in plain sight in an unattended car is asking for a break-in.

We appreciate your confidence in Valentine Research.
Please drive safely.
