This is pure BS. There is no detector that can save you from LASER, as soon as the detector goes off they have you and your speed, reguardless of if you slow. NO detector can save you from LASER . A jammer can but that is about it.
Laser is a beam of light in the infrared spectrum. When officers use a laser gun, they target individual cars that they want to obtain a speed on, and active the gun by pulling the trigger.
The beam of light that strikes your car is very narrow and reading the officer gets is instant. Therefore NO RADAR/LASER detector is effective against this type of traffic enforcement.
There are no federal prohibitions of laser jammers, as laser is controlled by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration under CFR 21, subpart 1040, 1041 for eye safety.
However three states have enacted laws banning the ownership, sale and use of laser jammers they are Minnesota (Minnesota Statutes 2002, 169.14) California (Sec. 1, Ch 493.28150, effective January 1999) and Utah (C. 41-6-52.7, 1998)
