If you study the subject and find everything there is to know about 
VG-2 there might be a chance.  This may apply to a case where the 
radar detector is legal to carry in the car but not in cases where it 
is ilegal to own.  And of course providing you have surrendered the 
unit.

The VG-2 works.  Friend of mine has been cought twice by an 
undercover cruiser i.e. no way to turn it off fast enough.
That was however with an older detectable unit.
I myself had a couple of cruisers slam the brakes on and pull a U 
turn to follow me.  That was with a detectable Uniden.  
Lucky enough I was in the middle of other cars 
i.e. no way for him to know which car it is unless he pulls all 6 
cars over!  With the Bel I have yet to see this though.
