Real likely,
They see when you speed down in front of a camera, then they take your GPS away and investigate for the program. They give you the oppurtunity to say "yes it's in" if you say no, you have to pay also for the computer specialist, whitch is here around 3000 Euro plus you fine and taken away GPS.
I have seen someone with tears in his eyes just two weeks ago. And.. the police knows pretty well, whitch systems can add that program. Don't think they are fools. Sometimes they have more knowledge, we all want. Italien, Swiss, Austrian and for sure French policemen are way more strict if it comes to fine foreign people.

Interesting, but I see that as being basically an unenforceable law. 

If you have a dedicated GPS radar detector, I can see how that device could
be illegal. But the majority of the GPS radar warning systems are add-ons to
a navagation program. Mine uses TomTom and a Points of Interest file - it
beeps when I approach the "POI" of a fixed radar. A police officer would
have to be fairly computer literate to find the database on my PDA. Since
the file name is gibberish, he'd have to activate one POI at a time and see
if any coincide with a fixed radar. 

Theoretically possible but not real likely.
