It was a Passport 8500, not top of the line, but not cheap either.

I don't consider it a Laser Detector anymore than it is a Laser Informer.



Even with the shifter, it's tricky. You need to know if laser "jamming" is legal or not in your area. If it is, then you get lased, jam it the first time. That's your freebie, your azz better slow down before he tries again. And you need to have the shifters off so he thinks it was just a gun malfunction or errant reading.

If it's Not legal in your area, he could bust you for the jamming, and forego the speeding charge altogether.

Shifting/jamming is legal in AZ I read (or more like, not illegal).

I just don't want to shell out the $$ for that.

I've only ever encountered LASER once in Arizona, and that was a couple of months ago up near Jerome when the M3 got hit with LASER.
