What happens if a cop pulls you over and you have a radar detector?

If you have a detector and get pulled over, you best hide that jewel. If the officer knows you have one, he will not consider issuing a warning, but will write a speeding ticket for the exact speed he caught you at (no reduction). We do not appreciate those devices. They are illegal in some states.
