Are radar jammers legal? Do they work and are they worth having? I am ordering a V1. Should I have a jammer to supplement this. It would be nice to have a laser jammer if they work? Any opinions?
Active (broadcasting) radar jammers for X, K, and Ka band radar guns are illegal. Even if you had one, it would have to be very, very large in order to overcome a police radar gun.
Passive (non-broadcasting) radar jammers for X, K, and Ka band radar guns, that actually work, are non-existent... anyone that advertises differently is lying.
Laser jammers do work, according to the above web site.
Prism911, did you make a typo? Cause the quotes you give do not match your closing statement.
As I understand it, jammers don't work, because the radar guns encode their signal. This means that random signals (be it from doors, alarms, whatever) don't cause wacked readings.
There is no law against putting LEDs on the front of the car which, from what I have read, laser jammers are. They do not broadcast on a restricted frequency. Read the link I posted.

I agree with you, but I have a question. A radar gun has to read the reflective radiation from the original signal that it sent out to get a speed estimate. Wouldn't a broadcasted source as from a jammer overcome the reflected source? And it would only have to be the size of a radar gun.
Isn't the LASER signal an EXTREMELY narrow bandwidth signal?
The reflected signal will ONLY come from the narrow beam transmitted signal so....
The only way a laser jammer is going to work is IF the LASER transmitted signal just by 'chance' happens to reflect off one of the laser jammer devices... N-O-T likely to happen.
A 'broadbeam' laser jammer hasn't been invented yet so how's it going to work?
The laser jammer signal isn't just going to 'jump' onto the reflected LASER signal and ride it 'piggyback' back to the police LASER xmitter/reciever.
If "I" was going to design/build a LASER timing device I'd add start and stop bits that identified MY signal to MY device so that other light or received signal would be ignored.
Don't you think the LASER engineers did this?
Probably called it the 'differential detector circuit'. LOL
If you get hit with LASER you are caught.
Save your money to pay the fine and call it 'the cost of doing bidness'.

do radar jammers work?
