lol, I would def. not go with that. You'll definately be pulled over if they are radaring you and then it shows up on their display "JA" which go figures means Jammed, they'll pull you over for having one since they are pretty much illegal in ever state, as far as I know. It's like a 200 dollar fine to have one. I have a friend that's a cop and i talked with him for awhile about how radar's and lidar's work, and methods they use to catch speeders. Your best bet would be to somehow get ahold of some the the material they use on the Lockheed F-117 Night-hawk stealth fighter jet and put it on your car, lol.

That's partially incorrect. Jammers that interfere with the signal are illegal. Jammers that respond to the signal by giving off an FM wave that distracts the LIDAR or radar gun are illegal in like 7 states and DC.

Get the V1 and mount is just below your tint strip across the top of your windshield. The Passport 8500 offers comparable range but doesn't have the lifesaving arrows (which are worth 100 bucks alone IMO), the K40 has awful range judging from the last C&D test, and the Escorts are just cheap passports.

interferring with law enforcement in any way through stopping the lidar light or radar waves in anyway is illegal. so FCC regs or whatever you want to hide behind is fine. However, if you prevent a cop from reading your speed, regardless fo the equipment, and get caught, you're guilty and will be cited.
