Default Re: Laser Detector Test 2008

Jammers are getting better than others about not throwing error codes that will make the officer suspect you have a jammer. You would need to match the characteristics of the jammer you want to the types of guns used in your state.

Some guns can be set to only jam for 8 seconds once an incoming signal is detected and then go silent - enough time for you to get down to the PSL and not throw a code that will make the offcier suspect a jammer.

Also, even if the officer sees the jammer heads some jammers double as a parking assist and that function can be demonstrated to an officer. AFAIK those are not illegal in VA and DC.

Good jammers are expensive, so if you are going to risk of just going with an RD alone with no jammer, then maybe you do want to select one that has better laser detection. Except if you are in VA, then the stealthiness of the STi-R vastly outweighs the better laser detection ability of the V1 which can be more easily detected by radar detector detectors per the Delonix test results. But your chances of surviving a laser trap are still slim. I wouldn't bet on you. You've got to be lucky.
