I would never get one. A friend of mine is a police officer with the RCMP (Canada's national police force). He doesn't even turn the radar on until he can tell someone is speeding just by looking at them, so all you'll see in your car is a quick flash of doom on your detector, and then you're pulled over. He also said he has something which can detect radar detectors. I'm not sure that's possible, since a detector is a passive system, but he might be able to pick up a scrambler.

In any case, here the penalty for being caught with a detector is the equivalent of the maximum speeding penalty. With Ontario's new draconian speeding laws this means $2000-$10,000, and min 1 week without license and 1 week car impounded. Not something I want to experience.
