I would like to know how the law allows for destruction of private property, and how it allows the police to force the owner to do so under duress. Issuing a ticket is one thing, what you describe is totally different. Confiscation on the spot sounds unconstitutional....
Not wanting to hijack the thread, but the Constitution is now a worthless document and the 4th amendment has been vacated by Civil Asset Forfeiture.
Since radar detectors are illegal there, having one is a crime. The existence of a crime allows the police to take your property. Technically you are not charged, the PROPERTY is charged with the crime. How insane is that?
Want to thank all the people who gave me some great feed-back about the Skyline Drive. Unfortunately we are just driving through, heading west so not any time to linger but for sure it being on the East end of the USA, we will travel down this way again and spend some time.
This is the first time the wife and I will be heading West and we're looking forward to things like the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Redwoods, Crater Lake, and the whole of Yellowstone.
A lot to cram in to just 16 weeks.
Thanks again.

Your rights are an illusion.

That was a great explanation. Funny and sad at the same time.
Hey fellow travelers,
The speed limit is low for a good reason, curves, bikers, hikers, horses, deer bear and hikers crossing the roads, etc. Skyline Drive is very scenic and you will enjoy it. There is a gas station at Big Meadows FYI. Go and have safe travels. It is not a scary drive, you will be fine.
