Hello everyone,
This thread has unexpectedly turned into a major discussion. I’m not sure if that’s appropriate for the topic.
So I’d like to briefly summarize what we’ve learned. I hope I’ve understood everything correctly.
1: Radar detectors are banned in many countries.
2: Active navigation devices or detectors are therefore not allowed to warn of speed cameras.
3: Even if these warning systems do not trigger alerts in certain countries, they are prohibited in navigation devices.
4: The police are likely familiar with common navigation systems, such as TomTom or MRA, and know that speed camera warnings are possible.
5: During traffic stops, the police are not permitted to actively open navigation devices to check for the presence of radar detectors.
6: It is unclear how this is handled in practice, given the typically tense atmosphere.
7: There is no logical connection between “speed camera warnings” and "alerts regarding local speeding violations".
8: According to Corjan, adapting MRA to separate these two options does not require significant technical effort.
9: Adapting MRA to reflect this change is not a high priority.
I would suggest that we end the discussion here and let @corjan-meijerink decide if and when he implements this proposal.
Agreed?
Best regards ️
Axel
