Default Laser Jammer or not ?

I need your advice on something. Is a laser jammer useful ? I bought one but I don't know if I should sell it back and buy myself a nice x pipe and new exhaust instead of installing it.

I must admit, everytime I've been caught, it was by a laser.. but it was like 2 times in the last 3 years... I dont know what I should do.

Thanks !

Get your money back!! There is not one laser jammer that actually works, and $50,000 is up for grabs to anyone that can come forward with one that does. Read here: http://www.radarbusters.com/products...rs/default.aspIf you want a good detector, read the test repors to see which is best, and it's not the Valentine1 as some on this board will claim!

What is the difference between PASSIVE and active ? they're talking about passive laser jammer whats the difference?

I already have a detector ( escort )

On the same site I saw a report on the blinder x treme ( the one I have ) it seems to be working good.. are you sure ?

Dude, I am personal friends with "Radar Roy" who lives in Wickenburg, AZ. Roy is the most knowledgeable guy I have ever met when it comes to radars and lazers etc. I have personally asked him this questions and his response is that there are NO passive laser jammers that are worth the plastic they are wrapped in.

He says the contrary on the article I gave the link... he says its working. I mean.. the Blinder is working. It's an active laser jammer so.. why would he say that..

Don't really know, man. I've read a few different articles that have said laser jammers don't work. Since Laser is an extremely narrow particle beam and not a larg all ancompassing beam, I don't see how a jammer could work unless directly hit by the beam. All lasers have pinpoint accuracy. I would think that a jammer would have to be hit directly by it and stop or scatter the particles. I do know that cops are trained to aim at vehicle license plates or headlights of vehicles.
