Default Laser Jammers/diffusers?

Simple question. Do they work and if so, how do they work?

They work though I usually get radar-ed and not lasered. Jammers only work for Lasers. There are Radar Jammers but theyre federally illegal. Try Blinder. Theyre the best.

They have laser diffusers which are legal in some way, use the search there are some pretty detailed posts about it with pictures.

Tired of getting popped by the HPD....I found a surefire way to foil both radar and laser....slow down on the street (and I know that's difficult to do sometimes).

I suggest you take you car to the drag strip or get involved in road racing...I found it helps with that need for speed and it's far less expensive than all those speeding tickets.

Be careful with the radar diffuser, my ex father in law bought one and we went out and tried it out and I clocked him every time without any problems and he called them and told them about it and they told him it must be defective and had him send it back for a replacement.

He got the replacement and we did the same test and got the same results, He got his money back and watches his speed.

Sure they may pay the cost of the ticket but they will not pay the higher insurance premiums

I like the Escort ZR3 Laser shifters. Tested them with a police laser unit, and they definitely work. Plus, they integrate into the 8500/9500/solo radar detector displays.

Best bet I know is wait until a fast "pigeon" passes and then stick with them. Then when Mr. Cop turns on his cherries to catch the guy (in front of me), I slow down and wave him onto the highway. He waves a thank you at me and promptly nails the guy. Fun to watch. Best one I saw was an Audi A4 on the interstate that knew he was caught (leading heavy traffic) and quickly turned off at a handy nearby exit. The cop followed him down and nailed him.

All you need to know is Laser Interceptor.. My buddies Camaro has 0 punch through at anything over 15ft. These results tested/verified by two personal friends at the PBSO with different guns. There are forums based on these things and LI has held on to some great buzz for a long time now. I've seen the results for my own eyes and I plan on getting a dual head setup soon.

radar jammers are illegal for all intensive purposes

They reportedly do "jam" ladar (laser) is some instances, but since they are both illegal to carry in your vehicle - and - illegal to use in your vehicle at the federal level and in almost all states (to my knowledge) what would be the point in owning one?

It is not difficult to imagine this scenario: A LEO visually identifies your vehicle as exceeding posted speed limits. He aims his laser gun at the nose of your car but gets an error. He then pursues, pulls you over and asks you if you are using any device that would interfere with law enforcement? What do you say to him... knowing that he can confiscate your vehicle and place you under arrest?

I live in California where laser jammers are illegal. While I was commenting on the topic in general, it is true the OP may reside in one of the states where laser jammers are not illegal yet.
And I stand corrected about the federal law
