<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Why, you are attempting to pervert the course of justice, its understandable that any equipment to aid you in the process would be illegal.
I'm not saying that I disagree with laser / radar detectors, nor am I saying that I agree, just that I don't see why making something thats purely designed to allow someone to commit an offence illegal makes this a dictatorship. Credit card copying equipment is illegal, that infringes on the forgers "rights" to copy your card, does that make this a dictatorship? Hand guns are illegal, that infringes on my "rights" to blow annoying drivers on the roads away, does that make this a dictatorship? No, it makes it a normal country with rules and regulations.
I was being dramatic, obviously!
It's illegal because of the Wireless Telegraphy Act, not because it's 'designed to allow someone to commit an offence', and confiscating it seems to be to be done with the latter in mind, not because of the law it violates. Do you think a cop would be so quick to confiscate/send you to court if he/she found an iTrip in your car?
Do ye think we have to right to know when you are being trapped by the police? (Obviously a slight difference to knowing when you are ABOUT to be trapped).
