Speed cameras.
Fixed cameras an be legally detected by GPS positioning systems.
See this links page for
suppliers and my review
on one product.
However, a number of movable cameras are being put into service.
Laser "guns".
Quite common, even on Motorways.
It is against the law even to own a laser detector.
Therefore, I would not recommend anyone to buy them for example from
Laservarnare.com
Civilian cars with video
equipment.
Usually larger european cars with 100% rear tints and a few extra antennas.
The cars are equiped with a system called "Polispilot".
However, the courts do accept statements from police officers following you in
any police car.
Helicopter Surviellance.
Is not very common, but happens.
Police Radio
For the moment it is possible and
legal to listen to Swedish Police radio.
However, a new system ("Rakel") is being introduced which cannot be
listened to.
Either you need a scanner (for example from Alfakom),
or in some cases you can find streams on the internet:
