jorgs_7, You think it jams also?
ChrisGT, i spent $1000+ on tickets already so far within the last 2 years. I have spent that much on tickets so far so I really don't think i have a limit with the fact in mind that it should save me money in the future.

Holy crap! $1000+ for tickets in 2 years?! I think problem is you. I don't know how fast are you driving. Maybe try leave eary like 10-15 minutes of your habit leaving time. It is worth it. I used be speeding freak like you. I have 3 speeding tickets long time ago. One more speeding ticket then my driver id will suspended. I just like crap. I don't want that. I follow the speed limit for 4 years since then. I don't miss speeding anymore. I was switch "speeding freak" to "slow guy" lol. I think you can change your speeding habit. Radar detector thing is joke. Some cop don't use radar. Example if you are going 70 mph on 30 mph then the cop is driving oncoming lane and saw you flying fast. Cop turn "u-turn" then you got busted easy without your radar decector warning.

Alright well If you want a sick system then:
I would say for your jammer use: Blinder M25 - M45 X-Treme $700-$1000 range
For the scanner I would say: Beltronics STi Driver Radar Detector Valentine 1 Escort Passport 9500ix $500 range for any of them
I used to know a few people who could get they're hands on cop frequency's and monitor that as well.

Originally posted by palsut: Holy crap! $1000+ for tickets in 2 years?! It is because I drive on a military post to go to work and the MPs hit you hard with tickets. They are expensive and no MP will let you go, they could careless how much they are. They give very little leeway. @ ChrisGT, the Blinder M25 - M45 X-Treme sounds cool, but do you know anything about it? Like do you have to install it or is it just like plug and play? I plan on getting the 2009 GXP, so if I have to wire install something I will wait until then. If not I will get it now.

I don't think jammers are illegal here... When I first started driving we didn't even have a speed limit. I really miss that...

Originally posted by HercMan: Radar jammers (also called "active radar scramblers") are illegal to SELL or USE in every U.S. state, all of Canada, Mexico, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, as well as most other countries. When I mean jammer I am refering to a lazer jammer. If I forgot to mention that prior I appologize. And Radar detectors on base are illegal to USE, but you CAN OWN them. So if you get pulled over you simply unplug it or turn it off and say you only activate it off post (Since it is the law )

oh btw just to let you know a cop knows when you have a scrambler. I mean when he has his laser on you and his reading is scrambled you just pretty much screwed yourself instead of just getting a speeding fine. I mean royally screwed yourself. lmfao why did you delete your post? Originally posted by Nuke: HercMan, I'm not trying to come off as a jerk but you don't know what you are talking about. If you would have read the very first post in this thread it mentions this website:
http://www.1stradardetectors.com/radar-detector-laws.php
Radar detectors on base are illegal to USE, but you CAN OWN them. So if you get pulled over you simply unplug it or turn it off and say you only activate it off post (Since it is the law [Wink] )
I know the website is not .gov or anything, meaning it could be in accurate, but I followed up on the Texas (Where I currently live and Idaho (Where my real home is) and the military laws and all are real time accurate so I assume this website knows what they are talking about. ???

[/b]Ya, I completely mis read what he said, and felt like a jackass so I tried to edit what i said quickly. I read it too quick and thought he posted that lazers were illegal for every state, I didn't realize he posted that part from their website.
