Except I don't want to use Privacy Mode, so I run the unit without a USB key in it at all. The problem is that anyone who obtains physical access to the device can put it into Privacy Mode and there is no way I can reverse that process.Originally Posted by dragons
I just want the ALPconnect too completely hide the recent alarms when in parking mode. Just so people can't scroll through your recent alarms when you get pulled over. Probably might be a good idea to hide the radar icon too.
If you get pulled over, just grab your phone, close the app and put it in your pocket.
Perhaps the app could be used as part of a "Privacy Mode Lite". When enabled, the ALP would switch to parking mode if the ALPConnect app is shut down, or if a special "panic button" is pressed in the app, the ALP would switch to parking mode and the app would close. The only way to re-enable defense mode is through the app again. If the phone is in your pocket they can't legally search it for evidence of a jammer (depending on the country anyway, but if they do, it's just a phone, and the ALP is just a parking sensor, right?).

I'm sure they will ask for a demonstration if they see the heads on the front. It would be nice to hand them the phone to play around with.. IF..... God forbid it ever happened
The enforcement in Australia had the right to test things in your car without you permission & search your entire car too, even pull your car apart if the suspect. They even go through your phone.
Last thing I would like them to see is an alarm history with Ultralye in it lol

Just a thought you could hit CLEAR? It will remove the items in your history.

It only takes a few seconds to delete the app off your phone. And they have no way of knowing if the heads in the grill have any connection to the phone in your pocket anyway. And if they want a demonstration, it's easy enough to show them how your parking sensors work.

Have you ever tried plugging in a USB then fumbling around trying to hit the clear button, its amazing how difficult it is under pressure lol.
I keep my Parking detection only velcroed to my gear box and the usb cord Ive tuck on handbrake I had same issue so ,
2nd solution make a Usb cord with a power on switch Its a prick to work with vo I belave the power cable may be black red maybe try cutting a old usb cord and try placing a swutch on it had that idea for ages! Cant do it tried cords are to thin and the switch was 12V i tghink that was the issue a PC shop may help!
I'm the smart 1 who never got caught! (only cause I own CM's LOL!)
I will operate my Ka band radar gun 50wat 400 to 490 MHZ radio radar detector D alp where I want when I want how I want JUst try to stop me!
I hate speed camera operators with passion!
Now my only wish is that if the alp could tell what gun type it is and if the type of gun is 1 where operator wont pursue vechile or a fixed laser cam have it jTg! Then when it detects a gun like prolite4 then she jams to user settings ,
This would be the best thing you could do to advance the VPR protection at tad further !
LEO's have made a semi-regular habit of going through people's phones during questioning in the USA as well. Every court case that I am aware of has upheld their right to do so. This issue has not been before the US Supreme Court yet, and I a m certain that it eventually will, ( and I'm not optimistic about what they would decide with the current court's track record) Meantime, don't have anything *incriminating* on your phone.
