Contradiction Regarding Radar Detectors

Hello everyone....Since I'm starting school tomorrow, I've been cramming as much knowledge as I can here at TruckingTruth with all of the test pages you provide (thank you Brett) but I seem to have come upon a contradiction with which I'm confused regarding Radar Detectors. Quote from the CDL manual----The term "equipped means and includes possession"

Then you follow up with " a motorist shall not be in violation if the device is contained in a locked, opaque box or device is not in passenger compartment and is not in operation." How can you not be in violation if you are in possession?

Herein is the contradiction---the manual isn't qualifying how it is possessed, whether it's in a box or not, passenger side or not, operating or not, if you're in possession of it then, ip-so fac-to, you're equipped with it.

Can somebody clarify this for me? I don't know---it seems pretty clear.

Get caught with it on the dash and you're busted. In the case of the regulation, locked in the opaque case kept in the sleeper. Basically your best bet is to not bother having one in the truck with you at all.

Honeslty if you are worried about getting popped with a radar detector, consider another line of work. If you plan on speeding to the point you need one you are endangering everyone around you.

Classification: sure, you can have a radar detector with you on the truck. Only it's got to be so packed up & put away you might as well not have it with you. 'Cause if you do, you'll be looking for a new job.
