By producing a “no response” or cosine error, a laser jammer effectively obstructs the accuracy of a laser radar gun aimed at a vehicle by a police officer. As a result, the police officer is left uncertain about whether the vehicle is equipped with a laser jammer or if their aim is flawed.
A laser jammer is a gadget that produces a “no response” or cosine error when a police officer directs a laser radar gun at a vehicle. This error prevents the police officer from knowing whether the vehicle is equipped with a laser jammer or if they are not aiming correctly at the vehicle.
How to jam police lasers?
The effective defense against a laser requires the front laser jammers to provide protection for the headlights, license plate, and the reflective surfaces in their vicinity. Conversely, at the rear, the primary targets are the license plate and tail lights. Moreover, the center high-mounted stop light, backup lights, and vertical reflective surfaces are also vulnerable. It is noteworthy that even a tailgate-mounted spare tire/wheel assembly can be targeted, as evidenced by our successful attempt at hitting a Jeep Wrangler’s aluminum spare wheel from a distance of 2,500 feet.
Can you install a laser signal jammers on your car?
California Vehicle Code Section 28150 (Division 12: Equipment of Vehicles, Chapter 5: Other Equipment, Article 17: Jamming Devices) states the following:
(a) No vehicle shall be equipped with any device that is designed for, or is capable of, jamming, scrambling, neutralizing, disabling, or otherwise interfering with radar, laser, or any other electronic device used by a law enforcement agency to measure the speed of moving objects.
(b) No person shall use, buy, possess, manufacture, sell, or otherwise distribute any device that is designed for jamming, scrambling, neutralizing, disabling, or otherwise interfering with radar, laser, or any other electronic device used by a law enforcement agency to measure the speed of moving objects.
(c) Except as provided in subdivision (d), a violation of subdivision (a) or (b) is an infraction.
(d) When a person possesses four or more devices in violation of subdivision (b), the person is guilty of a misdemeanor.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a person who has a valid federal license for operating the devices described in this section may transport one or more of those devices if the license is carried in the vehicle transporting the device at all times when the device is being transported.
Can police radar measure speeds or more than one vehicle?
The speed of multiple vehicles can be captured at once by dash-mounted police radars, usually up to two.
Today, radar systems have the ability to target multiple vehicles simultaneously, identifying the fastest vehicle in a group and the vehicle with the emest radar signal reflection at the same time. Nonetheless, visual confirmation by the officer is necessary to determine the fastest vehicle among those targeted.
