NO MORE TICKETS!

Got to this site some how, and was like OMG. Check this site out. It's a radar detector that protects your car from being able to detected. It's like you're not there.

I think it'd be nice to have...but I don't know if I want to take a chance, and spend $150 for it. I don't have a radar detector at all, and have never gotten a ticket.....knock on wood!!!!

BTW, Happy new year all!!!!

I think most of the time when you see cops "driving" they don't have theirs on, but when they are parked on the side of the rode, they are. Just got back from a road trip, and saw hardly any. Got with a pack of cars, vans, and trucks with trailors goping about 95, all through west Tennessee and Arkansas, and the truck with the trailor got pulled.....needless to ssay our lil "pack" doing 95 broke up

I think active jammers are illegal in most states.

As for traveling in a pack, yes, they will usually clock the largest vehicle. Also when they have a choice between stopping a car and a big truck, they will usually take the truck.

Lots of times cops are driving without radar or they may have instant on radar. They will get a close as possible befor zapping you, giving you less time to detect and react. Of course many cops are not on traffic duty and mostly could car less unless you are going really fast and/or cutting traffic.

If you read some of the tests on the so called jammers, most of the time the range is so short that the radar has already timed you before the jammer is within range to do any jamming.

Don't waste the money, and just get a good radar detector and stay alert.

Products like this crack me up. Imagine the situation: The cop is sitting there, eating a donut, with the radar gun on. Nothing much happening, right. Then all of a sudden a civic goes by, a little faster than the average car, and his radar gun gets scrambled and goes crazy.

Common sense says that cop WILL notice and come after your ***, especially if that device is illegal in that state. By having the scrambler, you'll probably be MORE noticed than not, except in heavy traffic.

Laser detectors are even worse. They detect the laser gun being used. Uhh, how is it gonna detect the laser, unless you've already been clocked? Too late! Both are a waste of money. Don't drive like an idiot and you won't get a ticket.

most of the jammers dont work due to new technology of radar guns for law enforcement. So another words, DONT BUY IT.

the gun doesnt go crazy, it just reads back a 0. youd need a blocker that outputs a signal throughout an entire band of frequencies. lidar detector = garbage. the most reflective point on the car for laser is the license plate...just black that out.

they sell license plates made of RAM (radar absorbant material), the same stuff used for stealth aircraft. i think they are like $150 though, and i know of no one who has one. and i don't know how that would fair vs. the laser.

I don't drive at a ridiculous speed anyway to have a cop notice....usually I do most of my speeding with groups of one or more. Normally it only about 10-15 over at most when I am alone.

I'll just save the money I don't have and not get a detector at all......I've been lucky so far!!!
