IIRC, the mobile photo cars on Rt. 50 use radar, so a detector will pick them up. Saved me plenty of times and yes, it's well worth it even in VA. In AZ the cameras on the highways are stationary and use sensors under the pavement, so radar detectors don't pick them up. Still, they have to have a clear shot of your face or else they don't mail the ticket. I just put my hat over the right side of my face as I drive past. I'm thinking of using a large mirror to completely ruin the photo. The new Escort 9500xi has a feature where you can program in the locations of non-radar cameras and its GPS will alert you when you approach one.
