Laser Jammers are completely legal in most states. There is a loop hole that allows that to happen. Radar Jammers a re illegal, and are banned by the FCC. However, lasers are regulated by the food and drug administration, and since they aren't a law enforcing agency laser jammers are legal.

I'll say it again, RADAR jammers do not work, except for maybe the one I mentioned.

LASER jammers, on the other hand, do. Why do you think I have one.

LOL, if you think the Blinders work fantastic, then you'll be even more surprised when you see how well diode jammers work I have one head that is only 2 inches by 1 inch tall, and it protects my car up to 300 ft, even with headlights shots When I get more money, I'll install a second head for total protection of my front

As I already said, I'm an active member of radardetector.net, so I've seen my fair share of videos.

As of right now, Anti-Laser(AL) and Laser Park Pro(LPP) are the leading diode jammers. There is a new one coming out very soon, called the Laser Interceptor, that if it performs as good as the prototype that was tested, would be the best diode jammer on the market.

Google away, though be forewarned that these jammers are going to be more expensive than LED jammers. My single head LPP cost me around 500 dollars. ALs are apparently a bit cheaper, but you have to order them from Euope so shipping may kill you. The LI is said to be around the 600 dollar mark for a dual head.

To me, speed measurement countermeasures is a bit of a hobby to me, and as you can see, it can be quite expensive To me, it's worth it. Some of you probably think it's a waste of money, but hey, to each his own hobby Plus, peace of mind is hard to put a price on.

you are 4 times more likely to die in an accident at 70 mph vs 60 mph.

go 75mph instead of 65mph and save 1min 14sec every 10 miles.

As a rule of thumb, you can assume that each 5 mph you drive over
60 mph is like paying an additional $0.20 per gallon for gas."
http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/driveHabits.shtml

so a 50 mile trip driving at just 10 mph over limit saves you about 6 mins and cost you atleat 40 cents per gallon. you make a 50 min trip take 44 mins...ehhh ok..??

nothing is perfect, they dont work as great as claimed....if they did and elvato's worked so great why add another one...you say the first one has a 300 foot area??? thats enough for 8 cars around you too...certainly you could not get hit

WTF? I never said mine had 300 foot area. I said it had a 300 foot punch through when aiming at the headlights. Punch through is the distance from the laser gun that it is finally able to get a reading. Different guns get different punch throughs. The one I tested got me at 300 ft when aiming at headlights. I could rent a different one, and do some more testing.

Of course nothing is perfect. I was just saying that mine would probably work better than his. But hey, whatever works for him.

As for the time thing. When I do speed, I do it because I want to. On my trip I save at least 20 mins, and have fun doing so. And gas economy? Haha, I get 11.8, do you really think I care?

elvato...how far do you drive...it must be far to save 20 mins

on a 50 mile trip if one car did 60 and you did about 90, the very upperlimits of your 2003 expy....you would get your 20 mins...and your expy at 90 could not dream of 9 mpg unlike the 11 and change you claim.


hmmm...maybe you slow down a bit save some pennys and get a new ride to save 30 mins on that trip...to cover 50 miles and save 30 mins you would have to go about 120 mph with the other car doing 60.

About 110 mile trip. And yes, I do average about 80-90 mph, hitting 105 every so often when there is a stretch of straight road. And yes, I do it very late at night when there is no traffic around on an open highway. I use around a quarter and a half of a tank. When I do about 70, I use a tiny bit more than a quarter tank. I have taken the trip during the day doing the speed limit, and it still took a quarter tank.

The 11.8 is combined city and highway driving. I've gotten as low as 10.8ish (more pedal happy than usual), but have never gotten close to the 9 mpg.

Regardless of what it may seem, I am not an irresponsible driver. I would never even think of doing those speeds during the day when there is traffic. That's just plain reckless. I try to speed responsibly. And it is stupid to think that just because you have a radar detector/laser jammer, that you can drive like an *** in traffic, thinking you will never get caught. Again, that's just plain stupid.

for those who question laser jammer the blinder really works i had my first real experience with it today i wasn't paying attetion going down the high way then all of a sudden i hear loud high pitched noise and i see the cop shooting his laser right at me about 500-1000 feet away and i jammed on my brakes then when i passed him on the highway i see him turn around and stare at my truck pass

Elvato, has the Laser Interceptor made it out to market yet??? I saw it online about 6 months ago for a decent price, but can't find it now. Even if it's a little more than some of the other diode and LED jammers, it's still good enoughe to be slightly "future-proof".

Also to clear something up, troberts said that the cosine effect makes the guns register your speed slower and yet he said that they don't use it in court due to it helping the offender.....he's half correct. It does help the offender, but not because he's speeding faster than registered but because the gun actually shows a higher speed than actual. Cosine law proves that the higher the angle between the highway line-of-sight from the officer and the target vehicle (you) the greater the speed will register, as it's a longer distance between the two of you and the rate of change is calibrated internally as if line-of-sight. It can't do angles, as it doesn't know what that angle is. I got out of a ticket one day from a trooper lasering from above an overpass. He quoted me 91mph, and I laughed (actually was doing 75). I explained that to him, and told him my lawyer was well versed in the physics and case precedent...he let me go.

I relocated my license plate to my dash, but after two warnings from State Troopers I installed it back up front with some minor modification. I mounted it in the gap between the bumper and grill, where just the numbers and letters show, but unless you're hitting it dead on you can't get a good shot at it. Proving it worked, I've been lasered since and the officer never even got a reading (as he continued to hit me as I drove past, V1 blaring both front and then rear warnings). It also was kinda foggy that day so that probably was his biggest issue (guess he didn't realize lidar diffuses in fog just like visible light). I'll be investing in a set very soon.
