Greetings,

First of all, I am assuming that there is consensus with "radar detectors are legal in NY state". If someone has a DMV URL confirming this, that'd be great.

Now, there's a law to do with not being allowed to mount stuff on the windshield if it comes in the driver's view (like GPS etc.)... so I'm thinking a cop can write you a ticket if he sees your "legal" radar detector obstructing the view right?

[1] So is it okay to mount the detector really really low on the windshield, just left or right of the 3 dials? (Voltage/Clock/Oil Temp), does it satisfy the windshield law thus?

[2] Or maybe, has anyone mounted it on the dashboard using those mats or double side tapes etc.?

[3] I am assuming the popular mount to hook it under the rear view mirror still qualifies as illegal because of the windshield law, any experiences?
