Default Radar Detectors/Jammers

Anyone have any good recommendations? I'm in the market for one right now but I need it to be undetectable. Unfortunately the state that I'm in strictly prohibits them. I can't afford another ticket.. Not that I speed on a daily basis, but you know. I was thinking about using a radar jammer from a boat, battery operated hidden somewhere in the trunk area. It's the kind that sends out radar signals from smaller boats to bigger boats to make sure they don't crash. Sounds crazy. Anyone have any ideas?

I bookmarked this about a month and still never read so it might be dumb, but motor trend is usually pretty reliable.

Don't know about the boat idea, but if you get pulled over and they find it, probably come with a hefty fine.

Personally i dont think youd even need the jammer, providing you have a good enough radar detector. You should look into getting a V1; simply the best radar detector out there

The Passport is as good as the V1, and a lot cheaper.

the only thing that makes the V1 any better than the 8500 is that it tells you which direction the radar is coming from.. which is very useful information. i got the 8500 because best buy doesnt carry the V1. i got my 8500 for 200 bucks. (on the day that i finally quit that shithole)

V1 and V1 only.

BTW, please keep in mind that a radar detector does not make you invisible from cops!
