I know the V1 is the best detector according to every living person on the forum. The problem is that in my province of Ontario, detectors are illegal. So I have several questions:

1) Is there any way for the cops to find out I have one without actually looking in the car?
2) Must the V1 be placed on the windshield or can I hide it somewhere so that it won't be obvious I'm using an illegal detector?
3) What are V1's dimensions in inches (I know you can fit in the ash tray area)?
4) Is the setup easily removable if a cop pulls me over, and I try to quickly hide the V1?

Thanks,
