A friend of mine owns a Porsche in Zurich and gets speeding tickets with monotonous regularity (his words). He wants to know if Road Angel, Snooper and the like are legal in Switzerland. i know the French police destroy them on sight; are the Swiss more enlightened? Much obliged

Also GPS showing camera locations.

" On January 10th a law went into effect banning the use of a navigation device to warn of speed surveillance locations, and police now have the authority to stop drivers using their GPS units for such a purpose, confiscate and destroy the device and fine the driver ."
