I have one in my previous car. But I never bothered to install it in my IS.
First of all, they don't use laser in my state.
Second, its a pain. It shuts off after you turn off the ignition and to get it
to turn on, you have to manualy turn it on every time. Then it makes a
defeningly loud sound upon startup.
It only went off once since I had it when I was on a trip trough Va. There was a handheld
laser gun pointed at me from the median up ahead. When I passed the bears, they were
scatching their heads and shaking their laser gun in frustration
.

usaly laser is different from k super wide and x bands. it is like someone spraying your car with water. they pull the triger and it spurts water. so it is alot harder to ditect laser and usaly you are getting taged when it dues. there is 2 3 was past laser but olny i maybe 2 fesible. first get some device to jam the laser sigonal. now the drawback to that is it is aginst fcc regs. 2 modify your lights and raid and front end to reflect the laser away from the poliece. and the 3rd and probley the most feasible is to stop the laser from bouncing off with

Laser jammers like the Lidatek aren't illegal in the US. If they were, they wouldn't be available for sale to the public. The FCC is the Federal Communications Commission, which has precisely nothing to do with laser jammers because they are a light-emitting product. The only similar product the FCC has control over is RADAR detectors; for public consumption they are only allowed to detect RADAR, but not jam or subvert it.

find any half assed lawyer and after one ticket yuo'll know how to defend yourself.
i hate to say it, but i'm one of those people who belive the legal system is so ****ed up you could probably find a loophole with anything. i've been around it too long and seen too many worse cases get released on crap. case in point in college i got out of a mal-issued DUI for the cop didn't have a camera in his car to record the sobriaty test. he pulled me and arrested me becuase i reaked of alcohol (apparently just getting off work in the biggest college bar in SC isn't a reason to smell as such). i had been drinking a bit but no where near drunk driving. 4 beers over 8 hours of work & pool hardly equals a dui. pos campus cop

first of all, there are a few states that have given laser judicial notice so your first statement is not right about it being 100% defeatable. you can look it up if you don't know what that means. second of all, laser is a stationary tool and it is usually handheld, not mounted in the patrol car and not used while the patrol car is moving. your statement that police car vibrations require the handheld laser to be calibrated so much that accuracy is legally compromised is ludricrous. have you even seen a laser?
there aren't any facts in your post....including your sc dui incident.

well aren't you just the ******* who thinks he knows everything. jesus did you even read the post?
i'd love to hear how you know what did and didn't happen in my life more than me. the police car DIDN'T have a camera inside as most campus police forces are underfunded, or not funded enough for every or any car to have them. and yea the legal system works both ways, anyone who knows how to work it also knows the only way to win in your favor is to tilt the case to your side and move for dismissal when you find a hole.
keep beating yourself in the head maybe you'll become less of a internet jerk.
