They only work if the cop is clocking other people up ahead of you, if you're pretty much alone he'll flip it on when you're in range and you're busted by the time your detector goes off. Also if you live where they clock with lasers a detector is almost useless, the spread is little that the cop can hit individual cars and you'll almost never pick him up until he's shot you.
I ran a Valentine One for awhile, never got a radar ticket but did get a laser ticket. Cops in Ga almost exclusively use laser so its no help. The best thing is a jammer and a detector.

You are absolutely right.noid said:"RADAR" JAMMERS are illegal in all 50 states. Federal law. Laser/Lidar jammers are not governed by the FCC. They are controled by the food and drugadministration. So Laser/Lidar are legal in most states. Some states like California, utah, Colorado, Ok, Tn, Il, Va, SC, Mn. have outlawed them.

There are legal laser jammers. The blinder extreme is reported as being quite good. The thing is laser is not nearly as wide spread as the industry would want you to believe. My brother is a officer in SC. He only has 3 LIDAR units in his town. His town is the 3rd largest city in the state. Making the choice is a tuff one, when you factor in the cost vs real exposure.
Detectors on the other hand are only helpful if you are not the lead car. With instant on technology, the detector is really only a pull over warning, if you are the target.

My brother works for the Town of Mt. Pleasant. It is adjacent to Charleston.Scrambler1 said:I don't suppose that is Beaufort is it? I though other states had laser like Ga does. The only time they use radar is when driving down the interstate, every time they are stopped and clocking its laser only. Guess I need to move:dontknow:
