I once had such a device in the cowl of the XX, right on top of the headlight. It had to be removed from the housing and put in a heat seal bag to fit. It escaped a close inspection by VA State Police, who detected it with an RDD subsequent to a traffic stop. Fortunately, I had an early Sirius receiver with me which was known to trigger RDDs, and I went on my way with no penalty for 86/65. I couldn't tell him that I was going over a ton when I first saw him - I grabbed the brakes when I saw him in the median, about a full second before the detector went 10/10. That was literally a visual save, but he still assumed I had a detector, which his RDD backed up. It was a really interesting speed encounter from a lot of different angles, both what he perceived that was correct for the wrong reasons and incorrect for the right reasons. And the verbal interaction was great - "You have a radar detector". "I do" - so my tone went up a half octave on the last letter of my statement; it was technically not a mistruth. I have several anti-enforcement measures on the XX, from a very advanced laser jammer, to a software modified Redline to stealth IR coatings. I've found the best defense is simply to ride with a measure of maturity - know that there is a time and a place, don't do stupid shit that draws the Man into your life, and be aware of the threat landscape - shift changes, jurisdictional lines, likely enforcement spots, limitations of enforcement hardware, and of the law. Even then, the odds will probably catch up with you eventually, but at that point it has to be considered "back rent" and one can be repentant with a smile... recalling all the good times and how little each of them cost per dose.
