Laser /Radar jammers
Discussion
I have come across a device called "Phazer II" on the internet, selling at around $120 in the US for which it's claimed "will disables X, K, Ka (superwide) and instant-on radar as well as police laser guns." Has anyone tried and tested or is using this device in the UK?
Likewise, the same manufacturer (Rocky Mountain) make a radar/laser detector/scrambler (RMR-C410 Phantom 4) which combines the action of a detector and jammer selling at around $200, anyone tried and tested this in the UK?
If they do the job, it seems like a very decent price if you can get them to sell to someone in the UK.

Get a Snooper SLD920X or if you need somthing with a little less profile, get a Target LRC100 Jammer.
These devices are tested and made in GB and having the Snooper and knowing others with the Target I know they work.
There is also a guy who will test them for a small fee in this area (Reading / Berkshire)

Not heard of this 'Phazer' thing, but have used the Snooper and Target products - both good devices.
As an interesting aside though, I had an interesting conversation with a local TrafPol recently about the use of jammers and possible outcomes. I think this is correct but i'm sure one of the local chaps here will put me straight if i'm wrong - it WAS a Saturday night!
Apparently, its obvious to the guy operating the gun that are jamming the signal (it produces a certain error code?) and they may pull you anyway if they suspect you have one of these on board. I suppose that would depend on how much traffic was about and certain other considerations.
Essentially, though, its down to the Officer to prove that you had the device switched on, not down to you to prove you didn't. Providing you are able to switch the unit on and off from inside your car and as soon as the unit is triggered you turn it off you will probably get away with a bit of a telling off (and probably a good look round your car...).
Obviously you would probably need a fair amount of 'front' to get away with this, but the guy I spoke to said that he didn't consider it a very serious offence.
He also mentioned that he's quite happy with radar and GPS detectors as it usually implies that the driver is more in control of the vehicle and likely paying more attention to the road!
