laser detector and jammer
Discussion
Hi,
I am thinking of getting a laser detector and jammer and wondered if anyone on this forum might be intersted too. I've been talking to www.radar-detector-shop.co.uk and they have advised the.....

We could sort a group buy which might get us a nice discount.
Anyone interested?

more info on that unit - has come highly recommended by a number of people and regarded as one of the best. Might be tempted if reasonable discount available for bulk buy.

Don't want to add a sour note but...
A word of warning that Jammers are most definately illegal and there's a lot of talk about detectors being made illigal as well.
Also, by the time laser alert has gone off, you've probably already been caught..

they did say that its sold (and on the invoice) as a parking sensor.
Also, the guy said that it could have been another vehicle that jammed the signal, not yours.
The detector does not jam a signal, it delays the signal going back to the gun. I think its about 8 seconds which is enough time for you to slow down.
NOTE: If there are any police on this list, I am purely buying this device as I like the rear parking sensors and need them for the front....blah blah. Dont want to scratch my lovely black monaro!

I think the gun receives a return signal it can make sense of or no signal at all. I read the test on another page and their gun didn't register anything at all, not even an error code
I do like this product but have to weigh up the odds of being zapped against it's cost and miles driven.

Here's an interesting quote taken from the UH Speedtraps link above.
"Now being a laser operated system, I had a thought.What would happen to a laser gun if it was pointed at the front of my car... exactly what I expected, the laser gun could not take a distance reading. So the next test was to have a drive round and leave my other tester down the road with the laser gun to see what happened.
Well we set off down to the road we use for all our laser tests and had a pop at the Laser PRO-PARK in the same manor we would on a traditional device and guess what, this parking sensor has a sting in the tail, diddly squat, no speed reading in any shape or form. Another interesting fact is that we never got a jam code either on the guns we used. (UK approved guns)"

I will call them and see what they can do.
I know they are the only UK people with these devices in stock. He did say that the laser pro is real good. They had 200 in two weeks ago and are now down to 30.
I will see what discount we can get based on 10 ??
Get your orders in chaps...

Here is my take on the whole jammer issues as I have been there and done it.
I bought the twin-head Snooper a couple of years back. The first one I bought didn't work - I had a colleague of mine who was at the time an instruments calibration engineer, and he had a couple of 20/20's in for calibration
We set up the unit and although the internal buzzer went off, it did not jam the laser signal. This was clearly a faulty unit.
I then bought a new unit and we repeated the process - the second one worked perfectly (quite exciting actually) although we did have to change the angle of the unit by bending the bracket up to enable it to jam successfully.
I sold 'that' car.
A friend of mine bought a different model as he travels the country regularly.The one which he bought had the extra feature of being able to remote control lights / garage door (by using a home automation sensor which you have to buy it seperately). We fitted it to his car in the same way as we fitted it to mine - ie bending the bracket slightly in the up position. He had in his car for just two weeks and was pleased with it - the difference between his unit and mine was that his only jams the signal for 5 seconds and then it allows the signal to be sent back to the radar gun.. it beeps and flashes a seperate display which warns the driver. At the time he was very pleased with it.
I spoke to him about two months later and he had took it out completely, why? He knew of a guy that also had the same model. This person set off a laser trap and it saved his bacon acouple of times. A few weeks later, he received a 'morning call' at 05:00 led by the Police. They wanted to see his car and upon finding it, removed it from his garage and took into police custody. They found the device, and charged him with obstructing the police in their duty (or similar offence I forget the wording).
Basically, the police have a database which containes all the registration plates of all vehicles which are 'no-reads' or where the gun hasn't got the read the first time. If a vehicle appears on this database more than once, and the vehicle is a sports car or the driver 'is known' to police, then they visit that address and look at the vehicle with traffic police who know what to look for.
They then issue a host of charges depending on their findings. The fact that the unit can also open a garage door is no protection or defence if the CPS can prove that on several (2 or more) occasions it has blocked a radar signal and that it operates on the same frequency as the laser! The magistrates are beginning to get wise to this too.

Secondary idea to limit the chances of a 5am tow away (this seems the only time traffic plod get up early) register your car to your office address not your home address. Both my cars are & I'm hardly ever in the office.
