I don't think having a radar detector is tantamount to speeding.
This seems to be a popular misconception that I've heard a million times whenever someone sees my Valentine One. "speed demon eh?".
Having a radar detector simply let's you know when you are being monitored.

OTOH, if someone abuses the function of a radar detector they still run the risk of getting caught because few radar detectors can escape lazer detection most of the time. So if I did decide to drive like a A-hole everywhere the radar detector is very far from fool proof. And in some states like Virginia simply doing more than 80 jumps from traffic offense to criminal offense.
