Default Does anyone have a radar/lazer jammer?

there's a laser jammer called blinder. it's very good. I don't use it personally, but I've seen tests of it against other jammers, and this one was working well.

The jammers do work, apparently, and it screws up the reading on the cop's radar/laser. On the other hand, the cops do react just as quickly when their lasers and radars are registering error signals instead of actual speeds. At least, this is what a cop friend told me, so take it as you will.

When I get my car, I am deffinitely going to be looking into radar/lazer jammers/scramblers, detectors, and a CB Radio. I WILL BE INVINCIBLE, MUUAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! but seriously, if all the gumballers use em, they gotta do something, and it'd save me TONS on insurrance rather than getting pulled over all the time. What would be the best is GPS showing cop-car positions. but ive never seen it. (maybe I will make one ) lol

when the jammer jams the laser gun, the gun shows one of these errors:

E0-01 - can't get speed because the car is too close/far
E0-02 - the laser line is blocked or the car is out of range

E0-07 - that tells the cop that the car has a laser jammer.

the first 2 errors are common and are not suspicous. a good jammer makes the gun show one of those errors (and than the cops don't have any reason to stop the car), and a bad one is detected and causes the last error.

I read some tests that show that only one jammer works well (showing the first 2 errors) - blinder. for info go to http://www.blinder.dk/.

Jammers are illegal in the states, and they are rather ineffective according to MotorTrend. The link below is their 2004 radar detectors test that cover some about jammers.

As for detector, valentine 1 is awesome!
