THE LEGALIITIES
Radar Detectors
As of Feb
1998 these units are legal to own and use in the UK.
RCD X u K
band jammer:
This is an 'active'
radar jammer and as such it's use in the UK can contravene the 1948
Wireless and Telegraphy Act. Therefore, these units are sold on
an export basis only.
Laser jammers
(K40 8t Target 850/Laser ECHO):
Slight 'grey
area', but generally considered non-criminal. If questioned never
admit to the laser jammers true function. They also double up as
remote control senders (really) to open garage doors for example,
so this is the use you should state.
Our best legal
advice suggests Laser jammers may be considered legal to own and
use as there is no statute against the emission of infra red or
laser light, as long as it is not causing harm or injury to persons,
animals or property.
Technically
there may be a case for prosecution under the Intent to Pervert
the Course of justice Act, but only if you admit its intent to jam!
However, this is somewhat of a general-purpose-law originally intended
for serious infractions of the police/court system and as we are
currently unaware of any such successful prosecution for the use
of a jamming device, the debate is open as to whether the Crown
Prosecution service would carry through such a prosecution.
