So in the long run he not only paid the fine, the lost of the devices ($2000+) and the damage done to his car's external finish and internal furnishings (which was over $5000 to fix). Personally, I would rather have a windshield detector that just costs $600. This way, in case I do get cited for those devices, it would just be a fine and the confiscation of the device without harm to any part of my M5.
Personally I would not live in a state like that. There are many times a headhunter has called me up, and I've responded that as a car enthusiast I would be unwilling to live in that state.

These are the states BTW
  1. California
    Colorado
    Illinois
    Minnesota
    Nebraska
    Oklahoma
    South Carolina
    Tennessee
    Texas
    Utah
    Virginia
    Washington D.C.
