Laser Jammer Recommendations?

[untrueparadox]

Anyone here have previous experiences or recommendations on which one to buy? I need on out of desperation because of those cops hiding in the bushes taxing people for speeding. I got my second ticket in 2 months and i wasnt even going that fast. first ticket, 15mph over, second, like 8. im not in the position to pay those hiding cops with the laser gun in hand any more than i would donate to drug addicts. please help. im looking at the Lidatek reviews, and they sound awesome, but they're discontinued and im having trouble location one, new or used, in the us. some of the others like escourt zr4 and m45 are so prohibitively expensive. $500 for a kit. any others?

ZR4 all the way. I have the ZR3 in my car now and love it. I'm probably going to upgrade to a 4 sometime soon! Talk to Broadfield, he's an authorized dealer and where I got mine from.

Hmm...

I'd like to see just how a laser jammer works. How does it prevent a laser (infrared) from bouncing off an object, IE body panels, headlights, license plates, ect...

That said, it's hard for cops to get speed guns to work on bikes because their surface area is so much smaller and the curves/angles are not conducive for parallel reflecting of radar/laser.

I found something that works well for me. It's called throttle control. I save a lot in gas too since I don't drive with a lead foot anymore.

Laser Guns shoot laser beams and watches for the reflections to bounce off your car. (officers are trained to shoot at mainly headlights, license plate, grille because of high reflectivity) With that being said, it's almost impossible to block light from reflecting back, so instead of tackling that, the laser jammers shoot laser out to be detected by the gun. By doing that, it confuses the gun and throws off the timing to the point that the gun can no longer read the "reflections" and therefore the gauge the distance. It is illegal to use in California, among many other states.

What is good about these things is, it gives the driver warning while it jams the target, giving the driver enough time to slow down. When the driver is below the posted limit, he or she can decide to turn it off so the speed of the vehicle can be properly detected and shows the officer the right speed.

The police, as well as the rest of the media, want the public to think that these devices never work. Well, it isn't a cheap offering to play with speed. $500+ at least for a decent unit. There are only three companies still left in the business that produces working jammers. Blinder M27 ($479+), Laser Interceptor ($599+), and Cincinnati Microwave/Escort ZR4 ($450). The most effective being the Laser Interceptor, which can run up to $3000 for a full high intensity 99% bullet proof install for front and back protection. Blinder is second, and Escort is third.

There's a whole forum dedicated to this stuff that I just found. http://www.radardetector.net/

And for your bike, there's the Cheetah M27 Bike kit for $500 that provides both front and back coverage as well as a in-helm alert mechanism. I don't think its really necessary for one, because laser tickets are easy to argue given the small size of a bike. The beam is more than 4 feet wide at 1000ft and 2 feet wide at 500ft, so the officer could easily be aiming at a nearby car instead of the biker.

Laser actually takes two readings and measures the change in distance to calculate a speed. Jammers just throw and extra signal in the middle to confuse the gun.

Hey guys, thanks. I really should have thought about the mechanics of measuring speed with a laser/radar gun...meaning a second time delayed measurement is needed in order to calculate speed.

...And in true jammer fashion, it doesn't block a signal, it insteads adds a lot of noise.

laser guns take thousands of readings every second and averages it out to get a accurate speed. a laser lock can be done in around 0.3 seconds if aimed right so all those stupid laser/radar detectors wont tell u anything. all ur gonna get is a warning telling u that uve been tagged.
