Are police radars illegal in Australia?

The short answer – yes! Radar detectors are 100% legal to use in New Zealand , as are laser detectors. You only start to run into problems if you have equipment that “interferes with Police speed measuring equipment”, meaning radar jammers or laser jammers.

The Law. In the UK, both fixed and mobile radar and laser speed camera detection devices are legal , although this is the subject of an ongoing debate in Parliament. However they are not legal in most countries in Europe and using a device may result in fines and/or seizure of the device.

Radar detector and Laser jammer devices are illegal to use in all states including Western Australia .

Radar detectors are legal to own and to use in British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan . Radar detectors are not allowed by provincial laws / highway acts in Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, and all northern territories.
