TEXAS BANNING Radar / Laser Jammers 82-HB 1116 -- Class C Misdemeanor -- Need HELP!

[It's A G8!]

Slowly they sre taking everything from us.At least they took down the red light cameras in houston.

My Valentine One saved the Utah convoy to the Fest at least three times. I was skeptical to pick one up at first. But it has easily paid for itself!

This is the same kind of thing Apple and Google do with crowd-sourced traffic data.

See: http://radaractive.com/v1


ALso, I've never heard of a "GPS Speed Camera / Red Light Camera Detector", unless you basically mean an app like the aforementioned?

It's a database that you upload to the detector,It then alerts when you get close to one that has been tagged.


If you use a laser jammer the way they are supposed to be used,they will not know you have it.When you recieve the Alert,you slow down to the proper speed,and then turn the jammer off .That way they can get a reading,just not the reading they were hoping for


Radar Jammers have been illegal for years.I think the only company that "claims" to jam Radar is rocky mountain radar,And they have been debunked by at least a dozen people.Radar Roy put down 50k to the owner of the company at a convention to let him test with his Radar gun,and they declined.

That law has gaping holes in it. RADAR is an acronym/technical term, LASER is also an acronym/technical term with an entirely different definition. In the first part they try to glom the 2 together under the term RADAR and frankly that won't float. RADAR is entirely different from LASER. The sections where they ban the use/sale etc of RADAR will have no applicability to LASER once the first person challenges this in court IF they manage to pass it. They simply aren't the same beasts and they don't have much grounds to regulate LASER jammers since they're really nothing more than LED's emitting light on a certain frequency and its low power, invisible and eye safe...

To glom the 2 terms together they would have to create a new and fully defined term for speed detection equipment, NOT try to redefine RADAR to include light emissions.

[ra(dio) d(etecting) a(nd) r(anging
(Based on radio waves, regulated by the FCC)

[l(ight) a(mplification by) s(timulated) e(mission of) r(adiation).]
(Based on photons, NOT regulated by the FCC)

The basis of prohibiting RADAR is that its a RADIO emitter and both transmitters AND frequencies are regulated by the Fed govt under the FCC. To date the Fed govt/FCC doesn't regulate LIGHT int he invisible/eye safe low power spectrum that I know of... Heh!

They DO use Laser here in Houston, I've been hit with it at least 4 times in the last couple of years.

I like where you are going with this. The day the Feds decide that they need to regulate light...

How fast do you really need to go anyway? Here in Indiana it's damn near impossible to get a ticket for anything less than 7 over. You have to be doing some stupid stuff like weaving in and out of traffic, driving erratically, basically something unsafe coupled with speeding.

The posted speed limit between Indianapolis and Fort Wayne is 70MPH. I've NEVER been pulled over for having my cruise on 77MPH and I've gone past numerous State Troopers.

another necro thread.....geez guys this is 2 years old. talk about ancient history...
