Laser detector user fined £2000???

[Tafia]

Folks,

I have been told of a chap in the South West who has apparently been fined circa £2000 for using a laser detector.

I am /was of the opinion that detectors have not yet been banned though Nu-Lab did announce their intention to do so before the election.

As far as I am aware they have not yet been banned though the use of a laser jammer could lead to prosection for attempting to pervert the course of justice or something similar

Anyone got up to date information? Should he be fined for using a detector?

Cheers

T
