Deal Details
$769 shipped 2nd day, -$10 off additional with coupon code RABBIT.

The cheapest laser jammer that Vortex will still recommend [vortexradar.com], and that's when it's closer to $900.

3 front heads, support for 2 rear (sold separately), so somewhat vulnerable if your jurisdiction clocks from behind. (Apparently parts of Canada?) Decent performance even against DragonEye lasers.

Note that the following ban laser jammers, everywhere else is allowed (but use your judgment):
-California
-Colorado
-Illinois
-Iowa
-Minnesota
-Nebraska
-Oklahoma
-South Carolina
-Tennessee
-Texas
-Utah
-Virginia
-Washington D.C.

No, this will not jam radar. That's illegal in all 50 states.

And no, this is not a radar detector.

I remember reading about Gumball 3000 type guys installing these things years ago.

But in practice now I've almost never come up against Laser in California, maybe once every 4 years I'll get a laser hit.

Do you have dedicated laser hardware on your car, or just a radar detector that also happens to have laser? I ask because my Uniden R7 had no idea that my car got laser-clocked in Massachusetts recently. And apparently upstate New York loves laser.

No special laser hardware, just a cheap old Uniden. Are you saying RD's with laser don't always detect it?

Correct. If you have the RD high up on your windshield (like hanging from your mirror, or stealth-mounted up by the sun visor), assume it'll be completely oblivious to laser. Especially if you drive a wider car or something tall like an SUV. Laser pulses are only about 1-2 feet high and ~2 feet wide and aimed at either the front license plate or headlights, so almost undetectable outside of that small window.

Your once every 4 years is a cop who either aimed high, or scattered/missed off of someone else.

Why would a detector mounted "high" not pick up the laser ? I drive with detector & laser countermeasure and my detector never failed to alert on laser hits. I understand radar has a bigger beam than a laser, but the detector has a wide "view" and should pickup laser just like it picks up all the other falses cause by auto door openers on businesses which aren't in view of the detector ? Maybe I'm wrong 🤷 ♂️

CHP motorcycle officers use them, found out the usual way.

Because laser's total footprint is only about a 2' square (roughly) at reading distance. When the officer aims at your license plate, a high detector is more than 2' above that, so it's outside the laser's footprint. Like if someone points a laser pointer at your chest, your eyes won't be blinded by it.
