Texas Laser Diffusers Illegal - New Law 9/1/11 - I got snagged yesterday
As of 9/1/11, it is illegal in Texas to "use, attempt to use, install, operate, or attempt to operate" a laser diffuser/shifter/jammer. I got a ticket yesterday, but ONLY for having one - not for actually speeding.
My question is, do you guys have any great ideas for a defense to this ticket? One that comes to mind is, how do they prove the diffuser was on? (No, he didn't look inside the car to test it, or anything like that - he just photographed the front grill and the license plate thing. Aren't there ways to get a false/no reading on a laser gun BESIDES a diffuser?
Thanks....

Also, which jammer did you have?

Sorry, I don't know what "JTK" means.

Haven't called for the amount of the fine yet. Still ticked off and weighing options of how hard I want to fight this...

Did you shut it off after you checked your speed?
Re: Texas Laser Diffusers Illegal - New Law 9/1/11 - I got snagged yesterday
More details beyond the PM: Cop was very cordial and not threatening. He simply told me of the new law (I had not heard about it), and took pictures of the front grill and license plate frame thing. He did not ask me if it was on, or check to see if it was on. He did not look inside the car. What else?

Nope, didn't know it had to be off or on - had never heard of this law.
