There is a guy in the "Maverick Region Porsche Club of America" (MRPCA) who was pulled over and ticketed for having a jammer (in his Murciélago) in Arlington. He was going to press the issue in court, since there is no law in TX specifically prohibiting the use of laser jammers. No FCC law is being violated. The dude has the financial means to see it thru. Unfortunately I sold the 944 and dropped off the MRPCA email list before this topic reached a resolution.

The advice other jammer-owners gave him:
- have a quality radar/laser detector running.
- have an "off" switch for the jammer close at hand
- As soon as you get the detector alert and scrub off enough speed, turn the jammer off.
- that way, when he checks surrounding traffic, and comes back to you (as described in the post earlier), he gets a (under-the-speed-limit) reading, and leaves you alone.

None of this is from personal experience: my Passport 9500 is gathering dust in a drawer. had not decided if i want to put it in the Z or not.
