Reply to "Is the radar jammer legal?"

True jammers are indeed illegal. If you get caught transmitting signals you will need an expensive attorney. What I suspect you saw is a "passive jammer". Those are not usually illegal because they do not transmit signal but rather claim to scramble the existing inbound signals and jumble them to the point they can't be interpreted by the cop.

Car & Driver tests dectectors every year including the passive jammers. Every year they find they are not worth the material in the plastic case. You might try the Car & Driver web site to see if you can see the last article.

As I remember, don't ask, it seems most real jammers are on a single band, because of cost. You need antennas on each of the four corners. The units allow the jammer driver to adjust the speed you want to show on the gun. The units are big bucks, several thousand dollars. So I have heard.
