Car Radar Detector Speed Alarm

Just saw this on pricehipster.

Does anyone know if this is legal to install in Australia? And whether it will actually work in detecting radars?

  • Pretty sure any radar detector devices are illegal.

  • It is illegal if you're in South Australia, OP.

    Plus, you find these to be pretty cheap all the time on eBay.

  • I think radar detection is alright, it's radar jamming that's illegal, don't quote me on that though, based on something I've read on OzB a while back.

      They're illegal in all Australian states/territories except for WA. Police are also known to have/use radar detector detectors

          @phil1311: I was scrolling through the comments thinking "surely someone else has seen that movie and will say it" and low and behold there you go! Great movie with a great Fun Lovin Criminals track!!!!

  • You can get it a few dollars cheaper here:

  • https://www.radars.com.au/radar-detector-laws.php shows illegal everywhere in Oz except for WA.

    For WA: "Currently there is no legislation relating to radar detector use, sale or ownership. Therefore radar detectors are only legal to SELL, OWN and USE in Western Australia. Laser Jammers should be considered illegal to use, however, there is no specific law against ownership and usage would be possibly considered hindering police. This includes parking sensors that are also laser jammers."

    A speed alert on your GPS or mobile will legally let you know…….

    If you don't break the speed limit then you should be ok :)

    I was young and stupid once…. (I'm no longer young).

  • If you arent in WA dont get one, these cheapos are real easy for cops to detect
