Never, never give in.
FWIW:
My Electronic Tech (and Radar Detector retailer) has told me that it is expected that those currently owning a detector will be able to continue using it.
The sale of Detectors will be illegal and Mr Plod will identify a parallel import by serial nos.
That was the Aussie scenario and the same is expected to happen in NZ.
We follow them - except in Cricket victories!
It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

Well, in my four years in Aus I never saw anyone with an RD, everyone was very clear on the fact they were illegal. Mind you, that was WA and Qld, so other states might have some other story.

What I was told was - that they will be able to tell from the Serial Numbers if it was an illegal import. May or may not be a fact??

My understanding is that they are legal in WA. (The Bel importer is in Subiaco.)
But not in Qld?

And yeah, RDs are not illegal in WA.

Hmm. All of the serial numbers that I have ever seen, have been on a bit of sticky stuff (plastic or paper) under the detector.
Another well thought out rule (if in fact, it actually is). Thanks labour!

Sounds like bullshit to me. They just wants people to buy them quickly before they ban them.

Know what you're saying - but I am certain that the Tech was being totally genuine. Could be wrong, but genuinely believing it was true.
As I wrote. It's FWIW. You make up your own mind. Time will tell.

NZ police email Mike Valentine:"Can you tell us where this product was purchased?"
Mike "Sure,I'll get back to you..............."

I imagine the logic is, all the plod would need is a list showing each make and model (not that many) ,and the last serial number legitmately imported before the ban. Which the agents could give them. Higher number, it came in after the ban , nauighty naughty.
Sounds too good to be true though.

The press release from the cops never said it would be illegal to own or import a radar detector. They just said if you were caught using one, you would be fined, and 75 demerit points.
Given that the smallest speeding ticket has 25 demerits, getting a speeding ticket while you have a radar detcedtor = lose licence.
David must play fair with the other kids, even the idiots.
Beware the psychosis llama...
I imagine it could be legally interesting to prove you were 'Using it'... Will wait to see how it pans out, and look at the wording of any regs.

Yeah, I particularly noticed that while the headline in the paper said "radar detectors to be banned", the actual press release didn't say that. It just said that (over time) you would get 75 demerits for "using one".
I imagine it will be like "excessive display of speed and acceleration".
ie if the cop said you dun it, then you dun it.
