Radar through a dark tinted screen

[Kirill357]

Why then its laser jammers on the market, which work for laser only BTW and no radar jammers?

[davereid]

As I explained, a device that jammed radar would be illegal under laws controlling transmitting devices ....
In NZ police use a public band, so they would have to tolerate and interfering device that was not a jammer. This may not be the case overseas, it may be that the police are the only authorised user of the frequency.

Actually, a device designed to jam laser (or radar) is possibly a "conspiracy to defeat the course of justice", but otherwise laser radiation is uncontrolled.

A radar jammer is a transmitting device - likely it will have to be type-approved byt the ministry of commerce, and c-ticked and every other damn thing under the sun, as it shares the radio spectrum with other users.

A laser jammer is a low-power laser device, like a kids-toy laser-pointer. There are little or no regulations on these, and you can point it where you choose without care.

It is possible that if you use a laser device to deliberately obstruct an officer, then they (rightly) might take issue with that. You can use any seemingly innocuous item you choose to obstruct an officer (donut?) and it's still obstruction.

A detector doesn't obstruct anyone or anything.

Yeah so far its been an expensive exercise - buying 2 complete radar units within 10 days!

But I got some good scores, 1st one was $300, 2nd one was $270 - compare that to the NZ price they used to go for - $650 each and im still winning

A man could pay for a few tickets with that amount of money.

If he was stupid enough to get pinged that is...

Really? I didn't think you could pay demit points off?

Me too - didn't know you could buy them at all - let alone pay them off...


But you CAN pay fines off - low-lifes see them as some kind of hire-purchase I think.

My detector cost me about $800 and it has paid for itself a hundred times over.

Me? never had one - and so far my speeding ticket payment so far is $200

So I reckon it ain't worth buying one.

In my case no licence no job!

Hell I got pinged for $30 at chrisrmas on a 70 year old side valve motor cycle.

I'm back on a bike after a 24 break and boy, gotta watch the speed round town... it creeps up over 50 far too easily....
