Sorry you got nailed. Some day it will happen to me too. But the law is the law and a $40 ticket is, as you say, only a $40 ticket. Thanks for sharing the story. I'd heard that VA troopers had Specter (however you spell it) and I always wondered whether they would chase down a civilian with it. I had kinda hoped they were only looking for CDL drivers, especially out-of-town semis.
The good thing about the VA detector ban is it seems to slow the conversion to laser among the Commonwealth's LEOs (though as Kmarei will tell you, that doesn't extend to Fairfax County motors, so watch out for guys behind trees!).
