I think you are better off running naked.
I have driven for many years since that stopped and don't use a detector.
In traffic I gennerally go as fast as the flow will allow.
If alone I go posted plus nine unless someone else wants to lead the way.

Radar detectors aren't illegal in NY, and I think your paranoia about being stopped simply because you have a detector is unfounded. I've been using detectors for over 20 years and have not once been pulled over because I had 1. In fact, when I got pulled over in Connecticut once the cop was actually asking me questions about it (i didn't get pulled over for speeding, i had a blown headlight and he let me off with a "get it fixed warning").
note: my cousin who is in the NYPD says "I couldn't care less if anyone has a detector or not, if you're speeding you get a ticket, if you're not speeding I ignore you, radar detector or not" . Obviously that's just 1 man's opinion, but telling everyone to not use a detector because you feel that you were pulled over for owning 1 is a little too short sighted in my opinion.
