F6 UTE - Track Bound EVO III - Member 3,367 Member For: 20y 2m 11d Gender: Male Location: Strapped in and holding on Posted 03/10/06 03:45 AM Share Posted 03/10/06 03:45 AM Any RD will detect laser, but you are too late if you detect it immediatly.. You can only jam a laser signal.Get one, but I reckon the anxiety you may feel as you drive around would be worse than the feeling you have when over the speed limit..I have one ( Perth), and the only thing I have against it is it won't hold my beer when I go around corners..

If you are using the detector detector you would just keep looking until you found it, because you know it's there. If you can’t find it then “ok nothing found thanks for your time.” I do not know how many detectors there are I don't think I would even be able to find out as it is not something I really need to know and I think it would be wrong to post it if I did find out, some things are just secret. I will check the legislation about dismantling cars when a detector has been detected to fully answer the question.Radar Detectors.In preparing this document I have researched:The Road Transport Safety and Traffic Management ACT 1999 no. 623 of 2006The Australian road rules - updated 2 May 2003 and published by www.lawone.timebase.com.auNote: The Road Transport Safety and Traffic Management - Road Rules & Regulation 1999, regulation 6 incorporate the Australian Road Rules into NSW law.Definitions:“Radar detecting device” means a device designed or apparently designed to be fitted to or carried in a motor vehicle or trailer for the purpose of detecting electromagnetic radiations from an approved speed measuring device.“Radar jamming device” means a device designed or apparently designed to be fitted to or carried in a motor vehicle or trailer for the purpose of interfering with the receiving by an approved speed measuring device of reflected electromagnetic radiations.’ Offence: 225 of the Australian Road Rules as updated on the 2 May 2003:(1) A person must not drive a vehicle if the vehicle has in or on it a device for preventing the effective use of a speed measuring device, or a device for detecting the use of a speed measuring device, unless the person is exempt from this rule under another law of this jurisdiction.Offence provision:Drive includes to be in control off.(2) Sub rule (1) applies whether or not the device is operating or in working order.Under the law of this jurisdiction, radar detectors and similar devices may be subject to confiscation. This is not exactly true as police cannot leave the device in the vehicle and must remove otherwise there would be a continuance of the offence; realistically it should read “will” be subject to confiscation not “may be”.If a police officer has a reasonable belief that there is a radar detector in a motor vehicle he has the power to stop search and detain the vehicle for the purpose of locating the device. In this instance if the device was electronically detected by an approved police device then there would automatically a reasonable belief, and no need to use any other method in coming to the belief. This power comes from Section 357 (1)(b)and © of the Crimes act 1900 no.40 as the vehicle is suspected of carrying an item that could be used for an offence, or is committing an offence. This was all ratified in Division 5 section 36 (1) of LEPRA which came out in 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(normal IANAL disclaimer here)well the people I have spoken to have never been picked up...the question is: to risk or not to risk?←It's your money and your neck. Risk what you will.
