I guess I was a little incorrect about my previous information. From what I understood, Radar/Laser Jammers don't work. Radar jammers do not work. Laser Jammers do.

Rocky Mountain Radar claimed to have a "passive" radar jammer since "active" ones were illegal. Every test done proved otherwise. Here is a quote about radar jammers.

"Invisibility to police radar may sound terrific but historically, effective jammers have been nigh impossible to find. There are good reasons for this. For one, they're blatantly illegal in all fifty states, since jamming police radar requires broadcasting a powerful, modulated signal. And precious few engineers are sharp enough to outwit the sophisticated digital signal processing (DSP) universally employed by modern radar. Not to mention, jammers are fiendishly expensive to construct."

"A one-square-inch antenna, no matter how efficient, is simply incapable of reflecting enough signal back to a powerful police radar to jam it. For that matter, we've tested $5,000 active jammers that pumped out 500 milliwatts of microwave energy--50 times the power transmitted by a modern radar--that failed entirely to jam anything."

Here is a link to information about Laser jammers. http://www.radartest.com/article.asp?articleID=8502

Interesting information. It reviews a few products, including a BEL, Escort and the best one, from Blinder. A quote from the review about the Blinder M-20 Xtreme.

"In our last test an earlier Blinder model turned in disappointing scores. Bur grom what we saw on this go round, they've clearly devoted the intervening time to radically improving their product. it jammed the Kustom ProLaser III and LTI Ultralyte 200LR down to point blank range, the Laser Atlanta to 319 feet and the Stalker to 200 feet. And it was the only unit to jam both the Jenoptic Laveg and Riegl LR235.90P (the most widely used European laser) to point blank range, a remarkable feat."
