Heard on the news this morning, apparently motorists "mis-use" radar detectors so some do-gooder wants to ban them and make them illegal.

How exactly can you mis-use a radar detector ? By making coffee with it

 

i doute they could make them illegal as the goverment say that speed traps are only in "blackspots" so all the companys have to call them is blackspots detectors, and who would ban something that detects where blackspots are

 

been saying this for ages chap- they won't be able to ban the GPS based ones anyway- they would then have to ban all sat-nav based products too, as you can store info on them

 

and just cos they're banned, doesnt mean people arent still going to use them

 

fook em

 

lol @ That

They'll have to fight me first. I can't live without mine.

 

theyve always been illegal over here but so have most things!lol...but no1 cares...while on subject anyone got a good jammer that works

 

I heard that this morning too, and thought the very same thing, how the fuck do u mis use them?

 

do a search for "LRC100" laser jammer!!!

I just got one of those new road angles. so i phoned road angle to day (BLACK SPOT) and the road angel is not elegal as it works on gps

 

looks like a top piece of kit any1 got one

 

 

i personally dont see how they can ban them... i mean they are there to detect accident blackspost and make you aware of the speed at which your traveling! they dont intefere with anything.. and the use of them could help to save lives...

 

They did used to be illegal as they intercept the signal from the Gatso/traffic cop (as you are intercepting information) but a stated case a few years back stated they were not.

The GPS systems do not intercept any signal so no probs there. Guess some numpty is trying to get them banned again.

 

I hurd it too, in the morning they said they were banning radar detectors but on the afternoon news i swear they said lazer jammers????

Was it just me????

 

well they aint a laserjammer as they are only garage door openers


i got the new road angel and i aint giving it up ever


fooking too may speed cameras where i live and it goes mad all the fooking time

 

Will it make a difference if they do become illegal
Speeding is Illegal but the masses still do it
fook em

 

The government even said a couple of years ago that Radar Detectors WEREN'T illegal for some law or other so they will have to change that law before they make them illegal...

Jammers are illegal however...

 

No there not - Jammers aren't currently illegal in themselves and owning one does not get you in trouble. HOWEVER, if it can be proved that you have perverted the course of justice or prevented a police officer from carrying out his duty with one then you can be had up on this. Its a grey area - and only a few cases have been heard on these - but they have to prove that it was the jammer that made their equipment fail and not a fault in the equipment itself.
