I know entering VA there are signs reminding you that detectors are prohibited.

The technology has actually gotten much better as our Canadian brethren can attest, they are widely used in Canada (Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, the Yukon Territory, the Northwest Territories. Regardless of whether they are in use or not, police there may confiscate radar detectors, operational or not, and impose substantial fines) where detectors are considered illegal.
