Connectivity in Belgium: prohibited — what is legal at home can be a serious crime here.
Belgium bans more than jammers: a speed radar detector is illegal to even own or carry, and so is a TETRA detector. Importing, owning, possessing or using signal blockers is forbidden too. Leave both at home, because the ban covers possession, not just use.
BIPT states the prohibition reaches using, owning, possessing, importing, selling and even advertising speed radar detectors and TETRA detectors, and importing, marketing, owning, possessing or using jammers. The statutory fine band under the Act of 13 June 2005 was not obtainable this run and is deliberately not stated.
