That’s great, yes I just looked at the Valentine site and it say’s they do upgrades, and I need to get my registration number off my unit to see if mine qualifies. I just happened to go past a trap the other week, and nothing happened on the Valentine One, but they may not have had their kit switched on in the van. The UK predominately use Laser guns now , and it picks that bogey up sometimes upto a mile away, so I trust it implicitly.
Please remind me of the legalities in the UK, but also France.
My understanding is that in France you are not allowed to use detection equipment? If it’s hidden, can the cops detect if you are using it, ie does it send out it’s own signal or is it entirely passive?
Only blockers transmit, a simple laser and radar detector should be passive.

In FRANCE your not allowed to use Radar/ laser detectors, and the police will confiscate them. However, you are still allowed to use GPS that log the position of mobile and fixed camera site. The French wanted to ban this sort as well , till the EU reminded them, they were a member!!!
But French drivers also warn you of active sites/ mobile camera by flashing headlightsv, which is illegal in the UK … Prid pro co !!!
The Laser / Radar detector is still perfectly legal for use in the UK, despite Blair and his toadies wanting to ban them , when they were in power… Would you believe that they were stopped by the good old Human Rights Act!!!
Blockers remain illegal in the UK , despite a wheez that was connected with ’ opening garage doors’ , anything on 27 Mgz AM/ is illegal

Sorry mate, you’re out of date!
[color:#000099]Changes in French legislation
Decree No. 2012-3 of 3 January 2012 on various road safety measures makes it illegal to be notified of the locations of speed cameras (fixed or mobile) while driving. If your device has the TomTom Safety Cameras and you continue to use it, you are liable to a fine of � 1,500 and the withdrawal of 6 points on your driver’s license.[/color]
Wow !
I wonder if the Frogs have enforced that one yet ??
Ps I used to have a snooper for many years and it was great for indicating which Gatso cameras were actually switched on or off but they cottoned on to this and reduced power in their units … as a result ,by the time the snooper was detecting them it was too late to slow down in time …
So now I’ve ditched it and make sure I’m not whizzing through any …

WARNING RADARS - ALL THE NEWS RADAR
Navx challenging the ban on speed camera
Posted January 16, 2012
The company Navx , which specializes in downloading POIs GPS and iPhone, which sells such a file with over 6000 camera locations in France said Monday in a statement entering an emergency the Council of State to challenge the decree, published January 4, prohibiting warning radars .
“We took Friday the State Council a procedure for interim suspension. We demand the suspension of the decree, which causes injury to Navx and raises issues of freedom of expression,” he told AFP Navx’s lawyer, Mr. Ron Soffer.
Ms. Soffer judge contrary to this prohibition "in Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which guarantees freedom of expression, but also to receive and impart information
"We challenge the notion of power prohibit the transmission of information in a democratic society, especially when information absolutely confidential because everyone can see the radar. We are entering a dangerous area for human Man, even if the goal is laudable, "the lawyer argues.
He also believes that the decree of January 4 “does not respect the agreement signed last summer between the government and the AFFTAC” (French association of providers of assistive technology to drive), which already included the disappearance of warning radars. Finally, prohibit the dissemination of lists of speed camera locations “is a considerable economic damage to Navx, which is a flagship product,” said Mr. Soffer.
NavX society that has managed to bend Google for abuse of dominant position does happen also to bend the government? The response of the State Council may not be given before three months. Meanwhile, the company continues to offer NavX file radars for download.

Suggest you buy a Valentine One which are sensitive and selective, not available at reasonable price in the UK , suggest you buy one in the USA , get them to ship to a friend, and get the friend to 4ward it to you

Podger, it is NOT FACT then is it! The law (decree) is being challenged by NavX, & there appears to be a wait of 3 months before clarification. In the meantime UK SatNav providers are removing camera sites from their downloads - although they may rename those locations as summat else

Corrected for you

It is FACT because if you care to trawl through the minutes of The Council meeting in Bruxelles in January 2012 you will find that they told France that any such legislation would be Illegal , and would and could not be ratified , and thevFrench legislation died there on the vine, so to speak.
FACT

Would love to trawl the minutes as you suggest - link please Mike.
PS As I’m not familiar with how “The Council” works in practice, I’ll genuinely find the link educationally interesting - ta.
Whether its legal or not, being challenged or not, its of no help to you if your sat nav is on the floor, under a Gendarmes boot, if you do get caught. Try explaining that the law is currently being chalenged in the European high court.
By the side of the road after being caught.
