The other way you will be caught with a detector outside of WA is as follows:

The police will park off the side of the road in a concealed position. This works very well at night. They will watch the traffic drive past them and then light them up from behind with their RADAR. If anyone jumps on the brakes, Mr Plod will chase you down, pull you over and demand that you "hand over the RADAR detector". If you deny you have one, he will search your vehicle with probable cause.

I know someone who was caught like this. And the thing was, he wasn't even speeding at the time. Almost everyone will instinctively brake when they get a strong alert signal on their detector. So even "undetectable" detectors can be found by cunning cops.
