Cool radar jammers

I was just looking at a web site that says its products can jam radar. They also say they have stuff that will stop laser.

Here is a link to their web site
http://www.jammersstore.com/jammers.htm

This is the high end one $1500.

I was just wondering if anyone here knows anything about this stuff. Of course personal experience's are the best kind.

Does this stuff really work?

I've got a Valentine one radar detecter now.

I haven't had a ticket in 5 years and don't want to get any.

I live in Washington state and they don't appear to be illegal here.


The following is from the web site
"Currently jamming radar is not allowed in OK, NE, MN, CA, NB
UT and Virginia. "

"VA & Wash. DC bans the use of radar detectors. "

Does anyone own one of these jammers? I'm curious about what the cop thinks when his radar is jammed , or can he even tell?

Of course a cop can tell.....especially if he sees you going down the road at triple-dight speeds and his readout is blank....and he knows the radar gun is OK. In congested areas, it is harder to tell if it is jamming or just interference from multiple echoes and readouts overlapping each other.
In VA, detectors and jammers are not only both outlawed, but can also be impounded. The State Police actually have "Detector-Detectors"
Even where jammers are legal, to answer your question, if you succeed jamming one frequency range(such as K-Band or X-Band) the cops may be able to use another one...and you don't know want that one will be.
The truth is that it is a never-ending cat-and-mouse game...each side trying to one-up the other.
