I thought radar jammers were illegal and would land you in jail? Radar detectors are a different critter, but Jammers are verboten!

I could imagine a whole host of excitement occuring near an airport and a day or two explaining why you have a radar jammer to Homeland Security.

Always better to know where THEY ARE. Get a Valentine 1.. Best radar/laser detector bar none. I have owned them all starting with the "FUZZ BUSTER" made in the 70's.

Radar jammers are a federal crime, however laser jammers are only illegal in some states. Check your state laws to fine out if your state is one of them

Ask a Hwy. LEO what shows up on his screen when you use a jammer. I'd think twice about using one anywhere.
