Yes, you are good to go in CA.
I'v had one wired into my Vette for about six months, and it saved me again this morning when I was coming home on the 8 freeway after an early morning Sprited San Diego Mountian run. I would feel paranoid without it now that I have it.

Just so you know, cops don't even need to use radar to give a speeding ticket. It can be visual estimation only/or pace. I know it sucks, but I didn't make the rules.

Supposedly:
Radar/laser detector = legal
Radar jammer = illegal
Laser jammer = legal
CHP doesn't use laser.
I think I got a laser ticket from chp though. I'll have to doublecheck.
