No. Laser jammers are classified as radio-electronic devices designed to interfere with police radar and are illegal under Belgian law. Their use violates the Royal Decree of 1 December 2013 on the use of radio equipment, which prohibits devices that disrupt law enforcement equipment. Penalties include fines up to €10,000 and confiscation.
Key Regulations for Laser Jammers in Belgium
- Prohibition under Telecommunications Law: The Law of 13 June 2005 on electronic communications explicitly bans devices that obstruct or interfere with police radar systems, including laser jammers.
- Criminal Liability: Under Article 550 of the Belgian Penal Code, unauthorized interference with law enforcement equipment constitutes a criminal offense, punishable by imprisonment up to 5 years.
- Customs Enforcement: Belgian customs (Douane en Accijnzen) actively seize laser jammers at borders, citing violations of the EU Radio Equipment Directive (2014/53/EU) and national regulations.
Recent 2026 compliance shifts emphasize stricter enforcement, with police deploying advanced detection tools to identify jammer usage. The Federal Police and FPS Mobility and Transport collaborate to monitor and prosecute violations, particularly on highways like the E40 and R0 ring road.
