I don't know what the "best is" but I just got a Passport 9500i and love it.

From what I've read only a laser jammer system will give you a chance against laser guns. Look up Radar Roy or search Laser guns and you will find some information. They also rate the best radar detectors and laser jammer systems and sell some of them.
US Federal Law prohibits the use of radar jammers. In 1997 the FCC made it a federal felony to jam or attempt to jam police radar or laser.

Source: FCC Public Notice DA 96-2040

Radar Jammers are transmitters tuned to interfere with ("jam") a radar signal. The intentional use of jammers is considered "malicious interference" and is strictly prohibited by the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, as well as by FCC Rules. Anyone using a jammer risks such penalties as losing an FCC license, paying a fine, or criminal prosecution.

I know it against the law to jam a RADAR frequency BUT,,,laser light is regulated by the FDA (NOT FCC) and I don't think that there are any regulations governing that area. I could be wrong though!

Are there any corvette sea lawyers out there that have a good handle on this one??

Nothing by RMR or Rocky Mountain Radar will jam laser or radar and their radar detection sucks.
