BTW, in most states laser jammers are legal. Radar jammers are illegal in all states. Also worth noting is there are a few companies that sell radar jammers like Rocky Mountain Radar. But they don’t do anything except drain your wallet.

I have a AntiLaser Priority system and it works marvelously! Those who say this model doesn't work are full of it. It was installed and tested rigorously before I used it out in the wild. Picks up the signal and gives me plenty of time to turn it off for the LEO to get a reading at would be the posted speed limit.
I have it because I like gadgets. However I have never and won't violate speed limits.

My point was - which you obviously overlooked - is that I've been involved with and around growing tech for 60 years.... NO, I do not know it all, but I'm a long way from being a dolt.

Thanks for this....

The article linked showing the states where the jammers are illegal had a lot of pretty good info. It could be on the subjective side, of course, but the guy sounds like he knows his stuff. The article said, "Laser jammers are typically also sold as parking sensors only and have to have the laser jammer functionality specifically enabled." How effective are they at that? I know, I know - a real man doesn't need parking sensors, but if they are already there.....

It looks like (good old Google!) the brand used by the OP has an adjustable time for the auto kill. Would setting that at 2 or 3 seconds eliminate the need for the manual kill switch?

Just like Joe, I never ever break the speed limit but I like gadgets.

Also, in defense of the gentleman referencing the technology from the 60s, any long term experience with something that evolves is a plus because the because the basics are always the key to understanding something. Even the most complex computers are easier to understand if you already know what the ones and zeroes do.

The TMG A-15 system has an adjustable Jam To Kill (JTK) of 3-9 seconds.

Good luck with it. I hope it works really well since its less than half of the ALP system.
Did you do this just for casual use or what ?

ricmalaz

Yes casual use for the very rare occasion when I am going 1 or 2 mph over the speed limit and there is a LEO who cuts no slack.

I had the Escort XI in my previous car, almost 3k installed. Worked great, loved it. Likely not do it again, very $$$.

It's illegal if a law is passed in your state making it so. You can try fighting a case if you want, but I'm betting the cops will win.

What radar detector are you running ? And how do you handle watching Waze ?

ricmalaz

I have a Uniden R3. I typically use Waze on longer trips when I leave town, or if traffic is really bad.

Do you get false alarms from cars with laser adaptive cruise control?

ricmalaz

I haven't had a false alarm yet.

Not a fan of radar or lidar detecting/defeating systems 'cuz the technology is not 100% foolproof and can change quickly and unadvertised, leaving the owner with

1. useless or untrustworthy expensive (and in many cases illegal) equipment
2. a very costly ticket or jail time depending on how fast said driver feels the need to travel on public roads...

My preference is to take my chances at speed limit plus 5 and push the car on track days..
That has worked a charm so far and left me with constant insurance rates and a lot of money for good wines and scotch...

The hardest threat to defeat is instant on radar, if the radar guy knows his stuff. Waze, detectors, following another car; all help but are not foolproof.
A laser jammer is similar- tilts the odds heavily in your favor but no guarantee.
I never do anything on the road if the penalty (fine, suspension, jail, insurance issues) are more than I could handle.
