For
most
people,
driving
the
speed
limit
is
just
common
sense.
The
safer
you
drive,
the
less
likely
you
are
to
be
in
an
accident.
Unfortunately,
not
everyone
feels
that
way.
There
are,
and
will
always
be,
a
select
group
of
people
who
forget
that
highways
are
not
international
speedways.
For
these
people,
avoiding
a
speeding
ticket
can
be
tricky.
With
the
use
of
radar
jammers,
however,
it
is
becoming
increasingly
common
for
them
to
avoid
being
caught.
A
radar
detector
jammer
scrambles
the
signals
emitted
from
detector
radar
devices,
allowing
the
speeder
to
get
away.
Radar
jammers,
as
the
name
signifies,
are
compact
devices
used
primarily
to
scramble
detector
radar
signals,
particularly
those
emanating
from
speed
guns
used
by
policemen.
Now
that
you
know,
you'll
probably
ask,
"Are
they
legal?"
While
purchase
of
a
radar
detector
jammer
is
permissible
by
law,
the
now
amended
Communications
Act
of
1934
clearly
stipulates
that
intentional
use
of
a
radar
detector
jammer
will
be
construed
as
malicious
interference.
Contravention
of
these
laws
can
invite
heavy
fines
and/or
imprisonment.
Before
investing
in
a
radar
jamming
unit,
it
would
be
advisable
to
first
check
state
laws
governing
their
ownership
and
use,
as
well
as
the
models
and
types
permitted.
There
are
basically
two
types
of
car
radar
jamming
devices
available;
active
and
passive.
Several
models
are
available
with
approximately
90%
of
the
models
falling
within
the
latter
category.
Active
jammers
constitute
a
mere
10%;
however,
it
is
important
to
note
that
this
type
is
considered
illegal
by
the
US
federal
government
since
December
1997.
Contrary
to
what
advertisements
claim,
passive
radar
jamming
devices
are
quite
ineffective
against
the
digital
speed
guns
used
by
traffic
policemen
in
the
US
today.
One
major
reason
for
their
ineffectiveness
is
that
signals
from
passive
devices
can
be
intercepted
by
policemen
from
a
distance
exceeding
1,000
feet.
While
these
signals
can
scramble
the
policeman's
detection
unit,
one
would
need
to
be
within
100
feet
away
for
it
to
work.
On
the
other
hand,
active
devices
are
much
more
effective
from
a
greater
distance.
Moreover,
such
radar
jammers
transmit
their
own
signal
to
a
speed
gun,
blocking
the
radar.
How
much
does
a
radar
jamming
device
cost?
There
are
several
models
on
the
market,
which
can
even
be
purchased
online.
Prices
reach
upwards
of
$1,500
or
more
for
an
'active'
radar
jammer
versus
the
cheaper,
less
effective
'passive'
models.
While
you
may
think
the
answer
is
as
simple
as
buying
active
radar
jammers
online,
then
hiding
it
in
your
car,
consider
the
following.
The
speed
guns
used
by
state
patrol
use
extremely
advanced
signals
which
are
very
difficult
to
jam.
Add
to
that
the
built-in
cameras
used
to
record
the
vehicle
as
well
as
who
is
driving,
and
you
can
forget
the
"it
wasn't
me"
defense.
Would
you
really
want
to
test
the
effectiveness
of
your
radar
detector
jammer
by
speeding
past
a
highway
patrol
unit?
