It's pretty clear that both laser and radar can be "jammed". The problem is that radar "jamming" is plenty illegal in many jurisdictions and also happens to be obvious to the "jammee", whereas laser "jamming" is legal almost everywhere and is effectively transparent to it's target.

I have an escort laser jammer and can speak to it's effectiveness; and have done so several times on this board. It has saved me on three separate occasions over the last couple of years - probably paying for itself in fines alone, let alone insurance implications. My Valentine never even reacted in any of those situations - not that it mattered.

Remember, radar/laser detectors are completely useless against laser. Laser is pointed specifically at a vehicle and are thereby undetectable until your car is targeted. Once targeted - you are caught and have no time to react. Being alerted to a laser hit means the same as being alerted to the fact that you are about to be handed a ticket.

Laser jamming is the only solution. V-1 + Escort Laser Jammer + sharp eyes + common sense = off you go...
