I was told it originated in the 1980’s when crack dealers would hang there corded phones over the rearview, they came up with the “obstruction of view” law to shake them down. It’s probably a much older law than that but yeah it’s bullshit. hahah, i would die if i saw some dude rolling around like that ---

Most laws are subjective, vot. I’ve moved mine around before choosing a permanent spot for it. What’s most important is how the radar is aimed. High or low makes no difference so long as wipers, headrests, etc. are not in the line of sight. ---
