anyone ever checked out their stuff?

how is it?

thanks

 

Do not buy from RADARCOPS.COM they riped me off about $200.

 

Automobile magazine's review of radar jammers. Its over 5 years old and posted on the Escort site so consider the source. I for one believe the article though.
http://www.escortstore.com/jammer.htm

 

im not to sure if im correct or not, but i just bought the escort Passport 8500 and it seems to be predominant in catching all Ka bands... and has actually saved my *** a couple of times.... just a thought

 

woop, heehe my bad

 

laser jamming? can you explain, and is it legal? where to get laser jammers?

 

The only device that I have seen get decent reveiws is a product from Lidatek. A thing to remember is that LIDAR is mostly used in speed traps that involve more than one police car (one with the speed measuring device and one that pulls you over). If I were to fly past the police officer going twice the speed limit, I would still get pulled over by the other car and recieve a ticket with an estimated speed on it or a ticket for reckless driving. The costs associated with making your car difficult to dectect by LIDAR are not worth the cost of a ticket.

My amatuer adivice is to just find yourself a good radar dectector and drive smart.

 

I would be very careful when thinking of even laser jamming. It is illegal in a lot of states. I believe the radar guns are using a 940nm light source.

Usually the prefered target source is your license plate because it is the most reflective. The radar jammers I have seen basically flood the license plate with the same type of light source. Thus they try to hide the reflected signal with a bunch of noise. The problem with this is they could just target another location on your car. Not as effective but still works very well. The good radar guns can pick out the signal from the noise. The jamming equipment cost more than most tickets cost. Doesn't seem very practical. Unless you always speed which meens its only a matter of time before you get caught anways. Good luck!

Driving with your high beems on shortens the distance the lasar radar is effective.
It doesn't cost a dime.

Damn FCC rules!
Unless you know how to make one yourself

you are getting LIDAR and regular radar confused
LIDAR = Uses a concentrated beam of light (usually 6ft x 6ft) reflected off the car
to measure speed. Cannot be directly detected or fully blocked. Most
states do not have laws that specifically prohibit use of countermeasures.
Conventional radar = Uses a different wavelength that is reflected but not as
concentrated as LIDAR. Can be dected at a range of up to 2
miles but equipment capable of jamming is illegal all across
the country.

 

I don't think so

A. It shall be unlawful for any person to operate a motor vehicle on the highways of the Commonwealth when such vehicle is equipped with any device or mechanism, passive or active, to detect or purposefully interfere with or diminish the measurement capabilities of any radar, laser, or other device or mechanism employed by law-enforcement personnel to measure the speed of motor vehicles on the highways of the Commonwealth for law-enforcement purposes. It shall be unlawful to use any such device or mechanism on any such motor vehicle on the highways. It shall be unlawful to sell any such device or mechanism in the Commonwealth. However, provisions of this section shall not apply to any receiver of radio waves utilized for lawful purposes to receive any signal from a frequency lawfully licensed by any state or federal agency.

This section shall not be construed to authorize the forfeiture to the Commonwealth of any such device or mechanism. Any such device or mechanism may be taken by the arresting officer if needed as evidence, and, when no longer needed, shall be returned to the person charged with a violation of this section, or at that person's request, and his expense, mailed to an address specified by him. Any unclaimed devices may be destroyed on court order after six months have elapsed from the final date for filing an appeal.

Except as provided in subsection B of this section, the presence of any such prohibited device or mechanism in or on a motor vehicle on the highways of the Commonwealth shall constitute prima facie evidence of the violation of this section. The Commonwealth need not prove that the device or mechanism in question was in an operative condition or being operated.

B. A person shall not be guilty of a violation of this section when the device or mechanism in question, at the time of the alleged offense, had no power source and was not readily accessible for use by the driver or any passenger in the vehicle.

C. This section shall not apply to motor vehicles owned by the Commonwealth or any political subdivision thereof and used by law-enforcement officers in their official duties, nor to the sale of any such device or mechanism to law-enforcement agencies for use in their official duties.

D. No demerit points shall be awarded by the Commissioner for violations of this section. Any demerit points awarded by the Commissioner prior to July 1, 1992, for any violation of this section shall be rescinded and the driving record of any person awarded demerit points for a violation of this section shall be amended to reflect such rescission.
