Benny Member 1,869 Member For: 21y 4m 22d Gender: Male Location: Newcastle Posted 04/03/08 02:18 AM Share Posted 04/03/08 02:18 AM Most Radar Detectors that are sold stating they are undetectable are usually only undetectable for a short time until the police upgrade their RDD's. I had a unit for about two years that was detectable and I didn't get caught. That doesn't mean you wont get caught, just luck I'd say. I don't think the police spend alot of time in suburban areas running around with RDD's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if its undetectable then you would hope you dont get done. But most of the radar's out there now are upgradable so that when new bands come out it will work with those. Well hopefully WA doesnt change the law anytime soon.Dorko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back seat passeneger holding one that is not turned on has committed no offence or has the driver. This offence falls under the traffic regulations not any criminal legislation, where you would more associate and differnetiate possesion.I.B.

Posted 06/03/08 06:12 AM Share Posted 06/03/08 06:12 AM I remember when getting my L's all those years ago reading a part on radar detectors in the handbook. There where only three reasons you where allowed to drive with a radar detector in the car. (ACT laws)1. You are driving to a police station to surrender the device2. You are driving to an auto electrician to have the device removed3. You are driving on or before the date which the device must be surrendered as specified in the infringement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note: Under the law of this jurisdiction, radar detectors and similar devices may be subject to confiscation – see rule rule 354.It still does not apply unless the device is operating or detected in an operating manner. Subsection 1 of Rule 225 inheritantly incorperates "A device for preventing the effective use of a speed measuring device", this in itself implies an active device, wich is a prime ingreadient of the offence. Subrule 2 which had to be included back in 1999, was to allow for devices that were concealed or switched off after they were detected.Most radar detectors are not detected by other technology, it is in fact the behaviour of the driver under certain conditions that allude police to a device being used.I.B.
