My Kansas 997S (no plate in front) is like a stealth fighter to laser. It's great to not have a plate in the front!
I would not get a jammer as they can throw the speed reading they get way off.
That would just give them an excuse to pull you over... "hey buddy, why does my laser show you are going 300mph?" Talk about a sobriety test!
It may be legal to jam the radar or laser but I would not want to have to explain that 300mph to the Cops or the Judge.
Testing a V1 currently.
The "laser" jammers do not work that way. All it does is "confuse" the gun's readings and do not allow it to calculate the speed of the vehicle, and the result is an error message displayed on the gun, indicating that it could not obtain the speed.
With modern jammers, the gun won't even alert to being jammed, i.e. the error code displayed will be a comon error that can happen frecuently when you operate the gun (ex, moving the aim while measuring, reflections, etc). And it will not cause the gun to display an artificial speed reading.
So if your jammer's alert goes off, and you lower your speed swiftly to legal speed while your jammer is protecting, and then shut it off so that the cop can finnally get a reading on you on his second or third attemp, he will most likely not give it a second thought and continue to the next target vehicle. I have operated laser guns myself and its quite easy to get an error message while targeting the vehicle.
So it depends if its legal in your area, and if its not, depends on the cop operating the gun, and depends on the fine you get for using a conutermeasure (here in Spain you are much better off getting caught using a jammer than getting caught speeding since the fine and the licence points are less).
