with the cost of a radar detector, i'd much rather invest in a radar/laser jammer.

Laser bounces and scatters. I have been saved by laser detection a few times. It only really helps on the open high way when there is a decent amount of road between you and the cop. I will agree laser detection isn't that useful in the city or on twisty roads. Laser detection needs distance to be helpful.
BTW radar jamming is very illegal. Laser jamming is still legal in most states (IIRC) but I heard newer laser guns can detect laser jamming. Laser jamming might get you out of a ticket but the cops will know you are using it and what would keep them from pulling you over and harassing you over it.
