No. Poland prohibits the possession, sale, or use of laser jammers under the Act on Road Traffic Safety (Ustawa Prawo o Ruchu Drogowym), classifying them as unauthorized radio-electronic devices. Violations may result in fines up to 5,000 PLN or criminal charges under Article 178a of the Penal Code. Enforcement targets both drivers and suppliers, with the Office of Electronic Communications (Urząd Komunikacji Elektronicznej) monitoring compliance.
Key Regulations for Laser Jammers in Poland
- Prohibition Clause: Article 66(1) of the Road Traffic Safety Act bans devices interfering with traffic enforcement systems, explicitly including laser jammers.
- Criminal Liability: Under Article 178a of the Penal Code, unauthorized use of such devices constitutes a misdemeanor, punishable by imprisonment up to 3 years or fines.
- Enforcement Bodies: The Police (Policja) and Road Transport Inspection (ITD) conduct roadside checks, while the UKE tracks illegal sales via electromagnetic spectrum monitoring.
Recent 2026 amendments to the Telecommunications Act expand UKE’s authority to seize jammers and impose administrative penalties on distributors. Importing devices without a Telecommunications Equipment Certificate (required under EU Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU) triggers additional customs scrutiny. Exceptions exist solely for licensed military or emergency services, with no civilian waivers.
