Laser Interceptor versus LPP? Which one to choose?

[RR]

Yes, it's now apparent that the latest-generation, diode-only Laser Interceptor is available for mass-purchase in the EU. However, it is not yet so for the US (i.e. purchase has to be done in a roundabout, grey-market fashion, akin to the AntiLaser and, to an extent, also the Laser Pro Park). In this manner, the LI can said to be just as much "retail"-available as the AL or LPP.

Allen,

Just to correct you on one point.... the LPP is not available via a "gray-market," though I agree that both the AL is in that category.

There are legitimate distribution networks now in the U.S. and Canada. That is quite clear from KMPH's website and also if you Google well enough to find them.

I don't think they have been around for long, but they are now here.

^ I'm not so sure - yes, the official LPP-UK/KMPH-UK website does cite that there are North-American distributors, but the exact legality of the item, as based on patent status (which would in-turn affect its importation), is still suspect.

While these distributors are in-operation as legitimate businesses, there remains questions that are unanswered.

To me, the concepts of sales/support as well as service is, in the case of the AL and LPP (and it seems, the LI as well), totally divorced from their "legal" status of importation.

The support with LPP couldnt be better IMO. I have always been very impressed with their high level of professionalism in sales and their support has been top knotch from my experience as well as from the feedack i heave read from others on this forum.

Having A USA and Canadian distributer was the main reason I went with LPP vs antilaser. I didnt have to worry about customs or dealing with croatia if there was ever a problem.

i had my LPP 2 days after payment!

Very, very well put Allen. You just summed it up in a nutshell in less then fifty or sixty words

Then there is the issue as to whether or not the FDA has deemed the item to be "safe" and able to be sold with their blessing in the U.S. :?

Are Blinder products FDA approved??

Yep

Well we will not sell laser jammers that do not have FDA approval for import, do not have a US patent or license, or the manufacture does not have liability insurance

Currently only the Blinder, Escort/Bel and Lidatek pass all three

Yup, of course Blinder is FDA approved. It also has a valid U.S. patent. I guess that's the whole entire point of this conversation. Blinder is the only company that has complied with all laws. I'm assuming the business is insured etc. Everything is legit :!:

I don't think any other "parking sensor" :roll: company can claim this or am I wrong :?: ooops ops: Escort/Bel and Lidatek pass all the tests as well

Where in Canada and do you have a list of dealers?

I'm also in the market for a laser jammer, but don't want to deal with the hassle of customs too..

Sorry my friend, due to the forum rules we are not allowed to discuss this here on these forums so I cant tell you.

Some advice though...

If you use Google and search for laser pro park Canada you'll probably find what you are looking for.

Google is a pretty powerful tool

Would it be ok to quote a typical Canadian price for the LPP?

And thanks for the leads.

Its around $700 big ones! :shock: For the price they are asking I could just as well hire a criminal lawyer! I have laser shield and thinking of painting it lightly with vail and save up for two years for the m-20.
