Nice clarification there! I never got a speeding ticket until I purchased a radar detector. Got nailed twice with laser , same cop, same road. Learned my lesson.

Laser Blinders + Valentine 1 or Passport 8500/9500 FTW.
I don't know why, but in the USA there isn't a lot of legislation YET against laser jamming, but you should double check that. My friend uses laser blinders and has had no issues yet. If you are in a pinch, get a Beltronics Vector 995 (it's pretty near identical to a passport, as they are now the same company). But with the increased deployment of laser, radar detectors are becoming obsolete. That, and many cop choose to just pace you, for which there is no working detector. The best way to avoid a ticket is to use your head, and not drive like a jack***. |

I was never aware that Stalker, Kustom Signals, and Decatur ever did, were going to, or were planning to manufacture radar/laser detectors and countermeasures. . . nor was I aware that Whistler, Cobra, Beltronics, Escort, or Valentine made police radar/laser equipment.

by the way, the radar work with the biggest object in movement, so if a semi is speeding next to you, he's the one the radar will detect. and for a radar detector : http://www.thesource.ca/estore/Searc...ctor&pagenum=0

Check for the legality in BC. Both detectors and jammers are illegal in Ontario.
If can't find them in BC they're likely banned there too. In Ontario the cops issue your ticket then take the detector, place it in front of one of your tires and order you to drive over it. They also have radar detector detectors so they can apprehend those using.

If its illegal to possess, they can't let you take it with you. Same thing here in the USA on possession. Course, they take whatever it is and destroy it on their own time, they don't make you watch it happen, lol. Honestly, Canada is a pretty neat place. Sometimes I wish the US was a little more Canadian. :)

I never heard of having it ran over maybe by a dickhead cop and your friend who told you this story did it because he was scared.
Anyways I'm sure it's legal here, Visions sells them lol If I was ever told to run it over with my truck I would insist he puts his gun and taser under the wheel too.

I believe the difference is that radar jammers emit radio waves which are under FCC jurisiction. Any device that emits radio waves needs FCC approval and since no jammers are certified by the FCC, they are illegal. Laser jammers emit light and there is no governing body for light emissions so it is safe for now.

However, most laser jammers alert you when it is actively jamming, allowing you enough time to slow down and turn off the jammer, effectively letting them get you at a legal speed. Jamming all the way to the laser gun (JTG) is a bad idea. . . and it isn't all that unusual to be unable to get a speed reading immediately at long range. |
