I'm considering getting a blinder m20-xtreme. I don't know if its legal or not to jam police laser. I've owned an x50 for the past 2 years, and it works great, however I'm seeing more and more laser in New Jersey, and specifically New York State (I.E. I-87.)
Is it legal to jam police radar? Or are you only suppose to jam until you are around the speed limit, and then release the jammer?
Can someone provide me with some information...
Thanks
In a little over a year I've been on the forum we have only had 1 pesron get jail time for there jammer. He was sentenced to 6 months in a county jail & 6 months of community service! It was something like obstruction of justice, wreckless driving, impeading police etc.
The sad thing he was from NJ!!!! They really dont mess around up there!
GOT YA :) :twisted:
Laser jammers are 100% LEGAL in NJ, so you wont get in trouble for having one. However it is good practice that once you slow down to turn the jammer off, to not attract attention to yourself :)
Sorry for the joke but I could not resist :)
You'll want to read up on any laser jammer law in your state. There are no Federal laws against laser jammers just state laws. You need to know what is considered illegal & consequences.Quote:

Nice, we've got a joker. Well is the m-20 xtreme good enough, I really no nothing about jammers, but Im tired of being worried about getting sniped by laser.

I think you can go to jail for using a radar jammer since it is a federal offense. I think it would be diffcult for law enforcement to figure out you have a radar jammer. And if a local or state LEO found you with one I don't think they would enforce federal law since they are not federal law enforcement, they would probably just charge you with whatever state law you violated by having one but I don't know this for sure.
Laser jammers on the other hand are legal in most states except for Virginia, Washington DC, Minnesota, California, Colorado, Nebraska, Utah, Illonois, and I think Oklahoma.
What about the odd Doppler tone the officer will hear as a car equipped with a radar jammer goes by?Quote:

If the user turned the Scorpion off and slowed down, it wouldn't look as bad. Also, LEO's don't have experience having their radar jammed so they might not know what happened.Quote:

Just a confused look from the LEO's when they were looking at their laser gun, but they didn't come after me to write me a $40 no points laser jammer ticket. I suspect that was the first time their laser gun was jammed and they didn't know what happened. Some LEO's don't even know working jammers exist.
Just hope you don't encounter a veteran radar operator and land in jail :shock: :lol:Quote:

What it means is you might get taken to jail for all most anything, and then end up getting released soon there after, and not be able to do much about it.
If you had a laser jammer, and you kept driving by cops using a laser, and then ran your mouth off when they stopped you, it's quite possible you might get to visit the grey bar hotel, and then later released. As far as I know, you'd have to pay for towing too!
To actually be found guilty of a crime and sentanced to jail time for using a laser jammer, seems unlikely. If you live where jammers are illegal, it's possible.

If you have the cash I would recommend a diode based jammer, just because they are small and do NOT require VEIL.
Blinder requires veil?
Yes. Without VEIL you'll get punchthroughs over 1000FT guaranteed! If you have a front plate the LEO will get a reading almost instantly.
One thing I noticed about the M-45 Prototype we tested, it did not have those long punch throughs. So maybe they have found a way to fix that problem.
But as for the units that are shipping now you have to have VEIL.
What's a punchthrough? The laser gun will eventually override the jammer?
Well thats an expensive package then, VEIL + Blinder is like 500 bucks isn't it? And then theres installation which I can't do myself....
Is it worth it?
Can you install the jammers inside the grill?
Why can't you do the installation yourself?It's very easy and all of use here would be more than willing to help you..Yes the Blinder M-20xtreme with the veil plus lasershield combo is 450.00..Just give Roy a call,sometimes he gives great deals..
I don't trust myself with electronics, especially car electronics...seems difficult to wire it all in through the hood of the car and stuff...i wouldnt even know where to start
Well that's where we come in.Like i said,we're here to help each other.The wiring stuff is nothing.It all plugs into the black box.The only thing you really have to connect is the negative power wire first then the positive at the end of the install..I see your in NY.There are a few of us that live in NY that might be able to help you with the install.Currently i'm overseas so i'm out of the loop.But if you post a "Anyone live close to Sarasota NY that can help me with my jammer install?" forum,i'm pretty sure someone will respond..Who hardwired your x50?
Dont install the jammers behind anything!Quote:

Know this an old post, it's possible you can get arrested depending on how they charge you and the state you're in. Usually Obstruction of justice or interfering with duties of a police officer, sometimes they add charges just to bust your cookies.
I think it does depend on the individual state statute.
I believe in Texas, it is a misdemeanor, but I have yet to hear of someone actually being arrested for the use of a laser jammer.
In other countries, that's a different story, though.
