Originally posted by s0urce View PostSo I'm leaving in a few hours to Italy. I'm renting a car when I arrive there and I was planning on taking my Valentine1 Radar detector. I decided to check on the laws for possession and use of radar detectors in Various Countries in Europe.
Heres what I found:
Possession and use of radar detectors in Europe
The possession and use of radar detectors is legal in the following European countries:
Italy
Bulgaria
Norway
Romania
Albania.
The possession of a radar detector is perfectly legal in the following European countries, but use of one is banned:
Spain
Germany
Denmark
The Netherlands
Latvia
Lithuania.
The possession and use of radar detectors is prohibited in the following European countries:
Belgium
France:hitler:
Switzerland
Austria
Luxembourg
Sweden
Turkey
Hungary
Slovakia
The kicker is I have a 5 hour layover in Paris, where possession of a radar detector is illegal. What do you guys think about traveling with this in my checked baggage? Will customs search my checked luggage and confiscate the v1, or do you think they'll just pass it on through to my connecting flight to Bologna?
Anyone have experience with this?
Useful info, thanks.

I didn't make it to Stelvio when I was there but I did do the San Bernardino pass. That's a great road....but is in the Swiss side. Road quality is significantly better once you cross from Italy into Switzerland...it's really noticeable.
The scenery and twistiness is amazing on the Italian roads. I was saying the road surface itself is what sucks.
