Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / ?Accelerating a charged particle

An accelerated charged particle emits radiation with respect to a stationary observer but if the observer is accelerated along with the particle does the observer still detect the particle emitting radiation?. Suppose we put a detector in the G machine at NASA and get it up to say 12G's would it detect radiation coming from the matter it is mounted on? I don't think so and if it doesn't that means radiating particles obey the laws of general relativity which I find extremely interesting.
