Default Laser Jammers

Has anyone installed and tried laser jammers on their car before? Any good/bad? I was looking at Lidatek but they are redesigning theirs and wont be avaliable till 2008.

They always do cause they need to justify that you are going that speed. If its not illegal the go on ahead..

I have a few friends that use Lidatek Laser Jammers here in Hawaii. That would also be my #1 pick if I were to ever get one. Since I moved to town I can't really get to that critical speed anyway so I haven't gotten a ticket in years so I decided to hold off. Anyway, my friend's swear by it and said it saved them many times.

If you live in Hawaii and have a habbit of speeding, getting a laser jammer probably would be a good idea. Hawaii uses LASER only as radar has been banned by the police union I believe. Therefore any live person uses Laser, and only those stupid Speed Sign use radar.

Hawaii only uses Laser. Radar has been banned. That is why radar detectors are useless for us here. Laser Jammers are the way to go. If I had to guess we probably have among the highest percentage of laser jammer use in the nation.

After they passed that 80+mph law i thought it would be best to get one.

So far Lidatek is the smallest i could find, it just too bad they don't have any until 2008.

Hi Kikaida. I hope you are still reading here as I have information for you. You'll want to check the Guys of Lidar: http://www.guysoflidar.com/ as they have some great reviews of laser jammers. The three best are LI (Laser Interceptor) which will be very difficult to get in Ha'waii, LPP (Laser Pro-Park) and AL (Anti-Laser).

There is a list up there with the states that have laser jammer laws (Illegal in CA, legal in TX). It is a very nice website but I do not have the link right now.
