Police Laser Jammer!?!

by **ArizonaEagle07** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 8:33 pm

I honestly didn't do a search, to see if this has been talked about.
I stumbled upon this Website & Video what do you guys think is it really legit? or some Fubar thing that being sold between 240- 550 dollars depending on which item you buy!?

Some of them do actually work although this one looks too cheesy to be legit.

Check out the escort ZR3.

Basically, a laser shifter temporary redirects the laser signal to the ground. After 5 seconds or by pressing the mute button (depending on the unit), laser signals will no longer be redirected.

That blinder one you just showed is wayy too obvious. If it doesn't stop working after a certain time like other brands, then the cop will just call on to another one saying that he can't get a reading from you because the signal is jammed. You will then get a massive ticket for having an illegal jammer in your car

.

That's just going by my opinion. I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure that's why they stop working after 5 secs

. Normal ones let you know you're being flagged, give you a few seconds to slow down, and then turn off for a little bit.

RDKamikaze you are correct about the logic, but there is a little more to it. A laser "shifter" isn't illegal, but escort had enough foresight to realize that cops would get real pissed off if they couldn't ever get a reading on your car. Therefore, you can shut the shifter off and they can check your speed. Since laser shoots such a small beam, the cop must make sure that they hit the license plate or headlights. When a cop doesn't get a reading, they'll most likely assume that they missed the headlight or license plate, and retry.

FYI: Anything that actively sends out a signal to disrupt laser / radar aka an "active jammer." The ZR3 is legal because its "passive" - it only redirects the original signal to the ground; it does not send out any other signals.

I take back everything I said about the Blinder M20.

Stealth system is one of the best. hella expensive though, costs @ least 1,000.
cops cannot find it on the car~~
and itz not one of those crappy ladar detector thingy.

I thought it was illegal for cops to shot laser in Pa.. This is what i have been hearing from a good amount of people.. So no need for laser jammer if they cant shot it

when I observed the video, the guy is aiming towards the "plate tag" on front of the car, and as you can see the corvette don't have one.... :wink:

That's why I sand down and beat the crap out of the front plate with a hammer to decrease the reflectivity :evilbat:
