I didn't see it personally, but if it's legal it could be worth picking one up in your situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know about rest of the country but detectors are illegal here in VIC and I believe they are confiscated and you get a $600 fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you saw is not a radar detector, and therefore is legal for use in NSW.It is linked to a satelite which sends you information on fixed speed cameras, red light cameras and various other things. Now, considering RTA has a list of fixed speed cameras on their website, I can't see how can it be illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see the ad and assumed it was a detector based on other posts.You're right though, it should not be illegal since it's just another form of transmitting the info similar to broadcasts on MMM FM (or what ever) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
