If they ban them don't even try using or hiding them......I was driving through Australia a year after radar detectors were banned.The unit flashed telling me something was up. I slowed down staying in the slowlane a car flashed past doing approx 120Klm a few seconds later in the mirrorI could see a flashing light it was the boy's in blue. I was thinking the poor sodwho past me speeding was in for a shock. The boys in blue pulled up next to meand told me to pull over. OK where is it, "where’s what came my reply." "The detector."I was about to ask what detector but decided these guys know something.I pulled out the detector from my tank bag which they promptly took awaytelling me it was going to be destroyed. They then issued me with a ticketfor $1000.00 and if I had told them a lie the ticket is automatically doubles.As soon as I was back in Sydney I called into a Lawyers office to take this all the way.When a lawyer tells you not to waste your dosh you have to believe somethingis really wrong.I called the AA motoring and spoke with their legal team who also advised menot to waste my time. In court the fine could easily double.
