Against laser you'd have to see if it decreases the distance the cop can tag you from. Nothing is going to make your car radar or laser proof, but you can do some things to help. I wouldn't expect a cop to know with great certainty what works and what doesn't. He's going off personal experience, and doesn't work at a radar/laser gun testing lab. It's true that no detector will save you from a direct hit with laser. But they still detect laser, so that you can be aware of any stray laser signals if there's a cop targeting someone else (or targeting you poorly). Some of the laser jammers do work, but they're illegal in most states, maybe every state by now. But hey, speeding is illegal too. If you don't want a speeding ticket, don't drive out of state with CA plates, and don't speed. I'll take his detector recommendation though! Although lately I'm worried my V1 isn't working right, it doesn't seem very sensitive at all any more after 5 years of ownership. I've been meaning to give them a call to see if it's worth fixing or even messed up. Personally, I think the whole photo-ticketing thing is bullshit. If it was up to me, cars wouldn't have license plates at all, and insurance would not be required. |
