Are you shopping for a radar jammer or radar scrambler? Here is a bit of information a lot of companies such as Rocky Mountain Radar (RMR) and Kat do not want you to know. The passive radar jammers and radar scramblers you see for sale on less reputable websites DO NOT WORK!
Now we do know of a few active jammers out there. A small number of these active radar jammers do work, well sorta. The problem is they do more than just scramble police radar, they also interfere with radio and television broadcast, and they are very disruptive to many electrical devices. It is also a felony offense to use one. You will get a $50,000 fine and possible a jail sentence if caught operating an active working jammer. And everyone around you will know you are using it.
Think about it, why would the military spend billions on advanced ECM systems and stealth technology (special paint, radar reflecting shapes, radar absorbing materials) if all they had to do was plug in a cheap radar jammer bought off the internet? They use very specialized radar jamming equipment. That looks nothing like the Rocky Mountain Radar C450 radar jammer! Good luck getting that in a car!
Do not let yourself be taken advantage of by anyone that claims they work. It is all a con. The box the jammer comes in works just as well. There are mostly empty plastic cases with some wires inside. We have already talked about some of the failed performance tests in a previous article on radar jammer scams.
So is a radar detector legal? Radar detectors are legal just about anywhere in the US. A radar detector only warns you of the presence of radio signals being used by police in a specific band. A radar detector is just a specialty radio tuned to listen to a very specific part of the radio spectrum. They in no way interfere with police radar systems.
What about laser jammers? Laser jammers do work, though we have found the quality varies a bit and some work much better than others. They operate by sending a false signal back to the laser gun, causing it to report a misreading "jam" or error message. For now, laser jammers are legal in most states.
