Nova Scotia has a STRICT no radar detector policy 
More on the front plate issue... according to Jeff (SeriousRex) our New England law enforcement officer, the state police of ANY state can issue you a ticket for NO front plate if your state requires one. I don't know of any that don't require one these days... ?
Most of the time I think you will only get pulled over if they want to try and get you for something else or they did get you for speeding. The one time I got pulled over I was doing at least 10+ mph over the limit but hit the brakes the second I heard the radar detector beep.
I don't think he got a good lock on my speed so when he saw no front plate that gave him an excuse. If I had been an a-hole I would probably would have got a ticket. But I do remember how to be a sweet little girl when I have to be

Pretty much over this past summer got pulled of at most twice and never got a ticket. Basically it comes down to being respectful to the officer plus knowing a bunch of cops comes in handy as well lol. Also my car only see's about 4k a year if that so really it's not on the road much to gauge what would happen if it was my daily.

To what you asked Ellen, I was on my way to Myrtle Beach, NC last October and I guess the trooper just didn't like my exhaust stating to me that it was not original equipment and needed to be fixed, although I'm just passing thru VA and I'm from NY.
I gave the officer all the politeness and respect I could. I even had my interior light on and my licsence, registration, military ID all ready to give to him.
Oh but he was young and fresh on the beat and needed someone to grab to make his sergeant happy.....shame on me!
I'm just an out-of-towner with a sports car and a non-OEM conforming exhaust. Oh gee, it might be louder than OEM, but makes better power oh and weighs about 40+ pounds lighter than OEM, which in-turn makes the car lighter, which also in-turn will make the car safer. All while retaining a catylist.
(its not often that I'm sarcastic but it feels good to vent sometimes, not to anyone in particular)

Yes, that is what my owners manual says. There are some counties that have signs "no radar detector use". I've seen those right over here near Albany. I'm not sure how those laws work. I should probably find out before April
really, i haven't seen that
also, yeah I know that DC isn't a state, my bad
and yes illegal in all of canada

I am right on the border between VT and NY and there is a sign when I cross over to your side about them being illegal 
Hope I don't find out that the hard way Of course that WILL give me a chance to try out my getting pulled over strategy 
I think I have seen signs like that further north near the Plattsburg area as well but it's been so long I don't remember.
