    Default Blinder M40 in an Illegal State - Questions!

    I have the opportunity to buy a New in box Blinder M-40 Extreme for $250, maybe less. So being in a state where laser jammers are illegal, I have a few questions.

    I have read that the M40 will give jamming codes on specific lidar guns. If a cop got this code would he immediately know it was a jammer? Or is there a number of things that can cause the same code?

    I don't want to instal them and then the second I get a laser hit, he just goes and finds my jammers. I looked for some information intot he types of LIDAR my county uses and couldn't find anything. Any other insight? Thanks!

    Yes there are other things that cause jamming codes. Also if u slow down to the post speed limit and cut the jammer off so the officer can get a reading u should be good. Anyways most officer dont even think jammers work. Bright sunny day can throw a jamming code for an officer using a laser gun.

    The only gun that really gives jam codes in the Laser Atlanta, and it gives jam codes for just about everything (headlights, houses, streets, sun reflections, you name it). If you slow, kill the jammer and let him get his speed reading in all probability he will never be the wiser.

    Maybe 1% of all drivers on the road have lidar jammers, so it's not like they see a lot, some never see them. If you run across a LEO that has shot a lot of cars with jammers, he may know but that's the only way I see it happening.

    In Colorado, almost every gun is an LTI, probably because the LTI headquarters are in the Denver area. No Blinder, or any other jammer currently sold, is going to trigger the jam codes on an LTI gun.

    That's good! Probably 1 in 5,000 in my state have jammers. I highly doubt any of them have experience. And the penalties for jammers are less severe than a 20 over psl ticket anyways. Thanks so much for the help. I willing be getting these jammers tonight for $200.

    Edit: DjRams thats even better news! I'm excited now!
