Western Australia, WA -
radar detector laws
Currently
there is no legislation relating to radar
detector use, sale or ownership. Therefore
radar detectors are only legal to SELL, OWN
and USE in Western Australia. Laser Jammers
should be considered illegal to use,
however, there is no specific law against
ownership and usage would be possibly
considered hindering police. This includes
parking sensors that are also laser jammers.
