Ah, cool

Yeah, laser is for some reason regulated by the FDA

The Escort laser "shifter" is one of the best on the market. It would work well with your system indeed. Unlike what hondaguy says, a laser shifter would be a good investment for you if your state uses them frequently.

Lucky for me, I live in PA and I don't see it very often (if ever).

Why are you so concern about laser and radar detection?

Obey the laws of the road and speed in moderation above the posted limit when safe.

If you have a serious need for speed, GO TO A Track or do some AUTOCROSSING.

Well I live in by god West Virginia, and I have a little ricey Honda Civic. The cops really like to prey on us here

. Now if I had a Mustang or an F150 then I could get away with murder on the road. Even if I'm not speeding, I still like to know where the cops are sitting because I let off the gas when I pass them so my muffler isn't as loud.

All my police friends including, my brother, are car lovers. What they do not like, be it a Civic or Vette, is misbehaving drivers, illegal equipment, and tinted windows.
If you and your friends are targeted by the local police, I am sure you have/are breaking one the my stated police pet-peeves.

Hehe...
1. tinted windows
2. loud (but legal) muffler
3. lowered (to an illegal level)
1+2+3=harrasment

thats the reason i posted about the laser jammer thing, if you obey the laws, you won't need it. Heck, ive done 110 without gettting caught, and no radar detector. Does that mean i do it all the time, no. As I have said b4, know your areas, and for the most part, obey the law.

FOr laser just let someone speed infront of ya and hide behind at a safe safe safe distance.....

And also look for the staionary cop on the side of the road.....they have to aim the laser with a scope so they must be still and steady.........they are all over Louisiana.....The new trick is the cop will park in shoulder and open his trunk..he then stands in front of vehicle on the side and and shoots his laser......

Eyes are better detectors than any laser detecter....becuase once your laser detector goes off it means you got he aimed at you and you are busted...........Sometimes I get hits when there is cars in front of me I think this happens because the laser goes through or scatters off the car infront and my V1 senses it

95% of the time I don't drive on highways or interstates. When I do it's usually in the middle of rushhour so hopefully I won't have to deal with laser too much. I have the biggest problems with cops sitting on country roads, so I doubt they use laser much.

Some of you have heard my take on this before, but:

As blkZ28Conv's brother would probably say, even if the laser gun doesn't give a (certain) reading, they can pull you based on a "visual" clocking. Radar, laser, lidar, these will help the LEO in court but they usually aren't NECESSARY to issue the ticket, or at least to pull you over and start the "process". And I myself prefer that if/when I get pulled over, the LEO *NOT* be negatively predisposed towards me (it's not like some "dumb cop" won't figure out he got jammed, or be too happy about it). Plenty of LEO's I've known figure a radar detector is ONE thing (and even this is really fairly recent), but that ANY kind of jammer (even if legal) shows an unusual predisposition towards breaking the law. And THAT'S the kind of person they're gonna spend some time and effort on...

e.g., Accumulatorette only got an oral warning/have a nice evening for 63 in a 50 the other week. This was in the WRX with no front plate (illegal in Ohio) in an area, we found out later, where they usually DON'T cut people any breaks. She came across "right" to the LEO so he was
