So I'm a noob at this stuff too and live in northern California. I was thinking of getting a jammer to team up with my V1. Mainly for long road trips etc.. But I was wondering what the consequences are if you do get caught with a jammer? Or if anyone in California has any personal experiances with the law and jammers.
no personal experience but it is a non moving violation, as far as i know. think like a fix it ticket.
does an infraction add points to ones license?
"d) When a person possesses four or more devices in violation of subdivision (b), the person is guilty of a misdemeanor."
i wonder if having a quad head unit would make an officer write you for a misdemeanor. we all know how leo's love to make the law say what they want it to say
Thread has been answered a million in one times, it is an equipment violation with 0 points. It is a fix-it ticket. Speeding tickets are 1-2 points. I'd much rather get a fix-it ticket then a speeding ticket that puts points on the license.
the '4 or more devices' does not apply to 'quad-heads'. It applies to 4 or more devices, and the intent of the law is in possession for sale, not equipped to the vehicle, tho technically 4 jammers equipped to the vehicle would be misdemeanor as well.
To make it even more clear
28150 relating to 'jamming' is an equipment violation under Division 12, Article 17 of the vehicle code.Quote:
California Vehicle Code

subdivision (b) of Section 40610 exist:

particular defect, not to exceed 30 days, or 90 days for the
all-terrain vehicle safety certificate.
I've probably jammed the CHP 8 times(7 successfully) and they have never given me a second look. I jam them, slow down quickly, shut the jammers off and go on down the road. This is just my opinion, but I am under the distinct impression that they either have no idea they exist, or they believe they don't work.
if you ever get to use a LIDAR gun (hopefully) you will see that there is no real way to know if you have been jammed or not if the driver slows down quick and shuts it off.Quote:

LIDAR is still deadly if you do not have a jammer though :(
