I've just answered my own question- radar detectors are not allowed in
Germany, Belgium, France and lots of other European countries- except for
Holland. Well, at least I can use one for the rest of the year...
In France you're fined some $600 when you get caught, apparently. Luckily,
our freedom to receive whatever transmitted frequency is in our
Constitutional laws, and a detector is nothing more than a receiver. Radar
jammers are a whole 'nuther matter, unfortunately.
