My advice: just dont use it. Keep it unplugged. You have to keep in mind that Virginia uses radar detector detectors. Many redar detectors can get around the VG-2 Radar detector detector, but there is a new one they use called Spectre-II which they cannot get around. Spectre-II is able to detect virtually all radar detectors. Just use your head-- as long as its turned on, they can still get your for the detector even if you arent speeding.
