Valentine1 Question

[Bavarian]

Hey guys, I am thinking of getting a radar detector since in the last week, I've had 3 really close calls with cops for speeding. I'm afraid I'm gonna start tacking up points real quick if my lucky streak ends (as it undeniably will).

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,
Rooster
