I'd just pull the fuse if it has dedicated power, or disconnect power at the unit.
https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/...tion46.2-1079/ Except as provided in subsection B of this section, the presence of any such prohibited device or mechanism in or on a motor vehicle on the highways of the Commonwealth shall constitute prima facie evidence of the violation of this section. The Commonwealth need not prove that the device or mechanism in question was in an operative condition or being operated. B. A person shall not be guilty of a violation of this section when the device or mechanism in question, at the time of the alleged offense, had no power source and was not readily accessible for use by the driver or any passenger in the vehicle.

I’d definitely leave it in and use it on the trip to Pitt Race.

Just hand the cop the wiring diagram and tell him you pay his salary. Should go well from there.
