Nailed yesterday AGAIN. Anyone use a jammer? I live in GA and theyre legal here. Looks like the Blinder m25 may be an option. Anyone have any personal feedback on this or any other model?

Slowing down will remain my last option...

I have a Valentine 1 that I had a jammer installed in! :-) Technically the jamming portion is illegal most places (are they really allowed in GA?) but as it would require the officer to destruct my private property to prove it and there's no way by looking at it that you'd know there was a jammer built in, there's no way anyone will ever know...except for me, my wallet, and my driving record! :-)

As far as i know Radar jammers are illegal in ALL states. BTW, the Binder is NOT a radar jammer. It is a LASER jammer. LAser jammers ARE legal in most states. i know they are illegal in Cali. Guys in cars in CAli and some other states hide their laser shifters behind grills etc where they are out of sight but still work. I have laser shifters on my M3, two in front and one over my licensee plate in back.Laser shifters are LEGAL here in Florida but i dont throw it in the face of LE that i have them. You dont see my front ones and the rear blends in with my plate frame.

You need at least two shifters on a motorcycle one in back and one in front. They usually work in conjunction with a radar DETECTOR.


When all my electronic goodies fail i pay 100 bucks to a ticket lawyer. He gets me out of ALL tickets 100%. They are worth their weight in gold. That single 150 dollar ticket could cost you thousands over the years in increased insurance premiums. Never ever pay a speeding ticket unless you have fought it to death first.

Illegal radar jammers are supposed to be scams that do never work properly. Since it is grey market technology they get away with it.Unless: Radar Jammer Fraud by RMR



You are better off investing in laser jammers and a good ticket lawyer.

a radar jammer that WORKS is a Federal Offense and a felony. But unless you made it yourself dont worry becasue i dont thinky anyone has offered a jammer on the market that really works. One guy is offering 50K usd to anyone who can show his passive device jams radar.
Radar jamming is a felony landing you in jail

Get $5,000 for YOUR Radar Scrambler!


It is gone up to 50,000 BTW!

Thanks Dave, good points. I need to find a good ticket guy here in
GA. Yeah, i meant Laser Jammer, not radar. Saw some video on you tube and didnt know whether it was another scam or not..

Cheers

all jammers are illegal in ALL US states... but don't take it from me... just ask the police officer as your getting dragged to jail

Not true. If you do a little research youll find that there are many states that dont consider laser jammers illegal. Dont post just to post. The thread was for those who owned one to share knowledge. Boo to the lamers.

Hey gab, they have passed a bill here recently that's adds $200 to your ticket if you're going over 85. Save the bullet stuff for the back roads. 575 is a trap all the way up to Blarisville and back, especially in Jasper where it drops to 55. Just a heads up, probably already know though.

Do many places use laser? In NJ they can use it but they can catch as many people as they want with radar and they don't have to point it at each car.

TheDuck

weapon of choice in the UK in spite if 'independent' * tests showing how inaccurate they can be.


*Our tests showed walls moving at 20-30mph both forwards and in reverse (tests conducted at Thruxton race circuit), readings being taken from roads, laser beams slipping along vehicles, double reflections etc etc In spite of the Association of Chief Police officers being present at further testing both they and the Home Office say they the equipment is 100% accurate .................... sorry for the rant, been fighting this for over 6 years now!

Ive considered it but never attempted to use one

They work, and are still legal in most states. That being said, they're not a substitute for common sense, and they don't make you invisible. They give you an extra second or two to haul it down from cruising speed to legal. You blow past an LEO at 90mph he's gonna write you for something even if he can't paint you. Because a bike has such a variable pitch from rider and luggage weight/position and throttle input, its hard to depend on the angle of your return beam. I use two in front, one aimed high and one low. If I pass a cop and he nails me from behind, I guess I deserve the performance award.

In PA, we don't use LIDAR, so I don't install the Blinder unless I'm taking a trip. As far as legalities, radio wave broadcast and rebroadcast laws fall under the dominion of the FCC, and they have some strong enforcement protocols that include what a radar jammer would do. Transmission of light, however, falls under the auspices of the believe it or not....FDA, and they're too busy monitoring e.coli in hamburger and peanut butter than to worry about the 0.00468% of the motoring public with LED lights on their vehicles. Some of the individual states have enacted laws concerning LIDAR jammers....California is one of them.

DeathWish01

like what yahoo questions? yeah right... how bout 1. obey the law or 2. not bitch when you get locked up... why would they legalize anything that counter acts their devices?

They use EVERYTHING where i am. Ka band is most prevalant. I have been hit with K band (Miami), old fashioned X band (Hilsborough) and laser (everywhere).
I have laser jammers called '"shifters" on my BMW M3. Laser jammers/shifters are legal as far as Florida is concerned. ALL RADIO wave based RADAR jammers are illegal on a FEDERAL LEVEL. But dont worry, unlerss you built one yourself you cant be arrssested for having a working Radar jammer. The foremost Radar Jammer manufacturer Rocky mountain has been shown over an over again by multiple sources to produce a totally BOGUS device.
To the best of my knowledge there is no commercially available WORKING RAdar jammer. I am sure some tech geeks have built their own. It is a Federal FELONY if you are caught. Best to just slow down or get a GOOD dectector with a laser shifter like i have. Passport 9500ix ($450)bike or ci ($1200)car. I suppose i need to add laser shifters at some point to the bike. The 9500ix does not come with shifters.

I did get a neat little bank of super bright LED's that plugs into the audio jack of the radar dector. You cant HEAR the detector go off, but when it sounds the LED's light up and you can SEE it immediately. Low tech vs complicated speaker and blue tooth set up but it works great.

CiscoKid

I just bought the 9500ix myself, to date it seems to be an excellent choice of radar , pretty much the best at that price point, I paid 499 CA for it and use in my vehicle and will be getting a mount for the bike. Can you recommend a stem mount at all. I am planning to buy a decent unit of ebay specifically made for the XX to mount radar as well as video camera.

Here in BC Canada Laser Jammers are legal as well as RD units, I plan to get a Blinder M47 next I think for the card and just go with RD for the bike and possibly cloaking paint on 3M sheilds cut to the fairing and headlight

BigDave

I would be interested to know what mount you came up with. If i can find my RAM mount, i ordered several a long time ago. It consists of a magnetic plate. I was going to attach the magnetic plate to the radar detector with industrial velcro. I always epoxy Velcro on becasue i have found intense heat of Florida will ALWAYS melt any glue that is ever on the back of any velcro no matter how good. You need 2 part epoxy to make sure the velro never comes off. i use a type of velcro that never wears out. It has NO soft side. Both halfs are hook and loop.
Until i can find my misplaced RAM MOUNTS my radar dector lives in a tank bag top pocket.

So, now i have a a detachable radar unit i can use in say a rent a car. And since it is on a magnetic plate i can have a permanent mount on all of my motorcycles that accept the plate. Just a CLACK and the radar is mounted on any bike with the appropriate RAM MOUNT plate receiver. I gave all this quite some thought and thats what i came up with
I use a special type plug and socket that is much more secure than a cigarette lighter socket. The company makes special SHORT tag lines for Passport and Garmin just for motorcycle handlebar mounts so you dont have a huge coil of useless 12 volt wire. Pretty cool. The company is called powerlet and I love their products. i am converting all my bikes to take their fittings and nice short tag lines they offer for my Passport 9500ix and my Garmin nuvi 660.

3.Remove your liscence plate for highway, or back road riding. For around town putting I put the plate on and bend it in half b4 getting on highways or going bannanas. Heres a tip I learned, take the plate and rub it across pavement until the numbers and letters are a bit disfigured. Carry around a fake body repair reciept. Now the plate is nearly impossible to read while more then a couple of feet away and if ur moving at all you can't read it. You absolutely must stop,or a cop is sitting by ur bike waiting for you and asks about the plate you just explain how you just got it fixed,nearly died,etc and the plate slipped ur mind. Works like a charm,5 years no moving violations, 1 unclear plate ticket I got in my friends driveway(shit u not) Ohh yea, and why don't I just bend it up all the time instead of take it off. Well I was whipping it on the highway,blew past a couple of cops on diffrent occasions who pulled out and when I got home my entire undertail had come off from the stress of the plate being bent up and down so often. Got lucky the plate didn't land on a cops windshield...

jonscott

Yep. I've beaten every LIDAR-based citation I've ever received.

Jon,
I wonder if you could point us to the documentation you used when arguing your lidar tickets. It is helpful to have acceptable paperwork when arguing in court.
Thanks

Here's something a helicopter mechanic friend of mine told me: a colleague of his once mounted an aircraft transponder behind his grill and tuned it to the traffic radar frequency. The effect was apparently to cause the officer's unit to stop working. He was having a great time until he did it to the same cop three times and the guy got wise... The resulting fine was rather exorbitant, I'm told.

Mostly I use the LEO's own sworn statements against him. Especially the map that I make him draw indicating where each of us were on the terrain at the time of "SMD contact."
