AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to prohibition
of radar detectors
The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-bly, do enact as follows:
1 Section 1. Section 397-a of the vehicle and traffic law is amended by
2 adding a new subdivision 2-a to read as follows:
3 2-a. It shall be unlawful to operate upon any public highway in this
4 state a motor vehicle which is equipped with a radar detector or laser
5 detector commonly known as a phazer II device. The presence in such
6 vehicle of a phazer II device connected to a power source and in an
7 operable condition is presumptive evidence of its use by any person
8 operating such vehicle. Such presumption shall be rebutted by any credi-
9 ble and reliable evidence which tends to show that such device was not
10 in use.
11 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[] is old law to be omitted.
