A unsafe driver is the one who switches lanes all the time.
I was taught that the left lane was the "fast lane", however in NY people don't care and cause others to go around.
The cops should tickets the jerks doing 55 in the fast lane!
That said almost every driver is speeding.
The cop therefore has his pick of speeders.
Conclusion:
What and how you drive makes a big difference.
I think if he sees the detector you or more likely to be stopped.

That's not unique to NY, every state has that problem. Drive in NJ or CA for a bit and you'll be happy to get back to NYC.
That being said, I still don't understand your paranoia about getting stopped for having a detector in NY, they are legal here. I socialize with a lot of cops, both Nassau County and NYPD and none of them have ever said that they pull people over for having detectors any more or less than peope without them. In fact, they state quite the opposite, they don't care.
I'm curious, where were you when you got pulled over? Did the officer say that you being in possession of a detector had any bearing on him pulling you over or is that an assumption by you?
