LEO's do not need to get your speed on any device to pull you over, and I would venture to say that 10 seconds with no reading is probable cause to suspect a jammer.
But the legality of the jammer is not the issue. It's the fact that these devices can be defeated. (Once the LEO understands what they are up against.)
When I was on radardetector.net, we had a LEO join the community and his first thread was about how silly we were for wasting our money on jammers that didn't work. In his mind none of them worked.
My response was "Thanks for the information officer".
But a few geniuses in the community took it upon themselves to meet up with him and do some testing. They were so happy when he had to "eat crow" and admit they worked.....
Then he started experimenting and before too long, he figured out how to spot, and defeat jammers. Then he trained his coworkers.
Now there is a section of Texas, where a jammer is useless all because some in the community had to convince LE that they were being beaten.
They have more money, more toys, and they get paid to do this with their time.
Once stealth is lost, we lose.
Oh, and unless you have some James Bond retractable setup, (That's prone to alignment issues) they don't need to enter the car to locate the jammers.
