12)Latvia:
Ka band only (Stalker ATR and Dual), mostly used from moving patrol cars in conjunction with video recorders. Majority are in constant transmission mode but instant-on situations happen too.
Radar detectors are illegal to use but RDDs are not in use, and generally speaking the rule is not enforced unless RD is in plain view
Local police now uses 4 Multanova MultaradarC - K band
BTW, somebody knows, these radars operate from the front or from the rear?

Ka-band: 34.00GHz and 34.30GHz
Usually built in cars, mainly Skoda Fabia, Skoda Felicia, VW Passat, VW Golf, Audi S4 - used either as stationary or mobile. Tripods are rarely used.
As radars used by the police have a very low output power they are only reliably detectable by:
- Beltronics 945, 965, 995, 975 - ONLY with special firmware (Ka narrow)
- Target 550, Bel RX65Euro(with 34.0GHz narrow frequency)

www.highways.sk/indexE.html )
Automatic stationary vascar - white lines across the road, cameras above each lane @ start and finish (planned & approved for use, currently installed when entering Bratilava from the D2 highway)
Use of radar detectors is legal, no specific legislation against laser jammers (plans are to ban radar detectors and laser jammers in 2008)
