Detector Inspector
Please could you re-state the currant law regarding speed camera detectors. I have a unit that detects fixed cameras and a plug in unit that detects radar laser mobile cameras. What is allowed?

In the UK both are because the law intended to specifically ban radar and laser detectors never completely made it through Parliament. However, if you take the detector to France, not only could it be confiscated and destroyed and you heavily fined, your car could be confiscated too.

I have recently received info on the above subject and on the face of it they appear just the ticket. Do you have any issues with it regarding legality, effectiveness and use on the continent?
What is your opinion of radar detectors? Are they effective? If you like them then do you have a make/model that you recommend?
