Shit that sucks man, I had a nice radar detector in New Zealand, was picking up piggies from miles 1-2 k's off.
Bought it to Australia thinking i'll use it here. But the Queenland police here in Aussie don't like detectors and are really anal about speeding.
every 1/3 or 1/2 cop cars has a radar detector detector and they can pickup radar detectors from many k's off.
If they find one on your car here in Aussie, they take away your US$600 detector and fine you US$700 AS WELL.
But at least they don't corehole you
