Does anyone use a radar jammer? Which ones do you use? I am looking for one and I wanted to see what was out there. ---

I have a whistler also but it is a hidden one. It has the remote right above the rear view mirror. I want something that can be hidden and not sitting on the windshield. ---

Yeah I have the escort as well and it was ranked above the valentine due to the fact you are paying 200 bucks extra for directional arrows. Other than that they perform about the same. It has saved me a couple time and you can ask brad for the fact of me and him making it from monroeville to Reading PA in 3 hours flat :naughty: ---

passive radar jammers dont do shit active radar jammers work, but they are very illegal and the cops will know the instant you use it on them. Someone ask Orangess/streetnstrip/whatever how fast you have to blow past a cop so that they arent allowed to chase. I tore past a cop doing about a buck twenty-five on 28 one day and he didnt come after me. :dunno: ---

> [@Sight N Sound](#): > > yeah they don’t need to chase you but they can radio ahead…good logic… omg cops have radios? I had no idea. They could use it to communicate with other officers that could be ready for you down the road. I never thought of that. Thank you so much for bringing that to my attention.
