          Exclamation Discussion of Radar Jammer w/ CHP

          While I was w/ the wht CHP unit, I checked out theroughly its radar unit.
          http://www.corystarr.com/mug/Neowerk...rkes%20062.jpg

          Another by-standard ask the chiper about the legality of Radar Jammer, the officer says ".. well... its definitely illegal!!.."

          " ..Well!! Hello!! .." I said... I asked the officer if:

          A) He knows when he is being jammed
          b) How tha "Jammer's" Are suppose to look like.


          He laughed and said " Nope!!... wouldn't even know if I am staring at it... You don't suppose it says "radar Jammer" on it do you??!!' We both laughed and I said "exactly!!"

          I knew it!!

          Is that a rear-facing radar gun in the picture?

          Yes, one for the front, one for the back. Picture shown is the rear unit.

          I know radar jammers are deemed illegal by the FCC. I wouldn't want to get caught using one. But on the brighter side, laser jammers are legal

          California has a statute that says anything that interferes with their enforcement of laws, such as any type of jammer or stealth devise, is unlawful.

          Hope other states don't follow this lead.
