Laser Jammers are very effective at jamming laser. However, they are mostly useless in the real world because the mounting location for the jammers is usually nowhere near where cops are aiming their laser guns. There is very little beam dispersion in laser (unlike radar) so your jammer has to be within a few inches of where the beam is aimed.

The most effective way to use a laser jammer is to have a front license plate and mount the jammer around the plate (like K40's unit).

ACTIVE Radar Jammers: there was a company in the early-mid 90's that made fabulous X and K band ACTIVE radar jammers. They worked furiously well. The drawbacks are that they are giant brick sized things and that the FCC made it a felony to buy, sell, or use one. There was never an effective jamming solution to super wideband Ka.

PASSIVE Radar Jammers: Never worked, never will. Reading any test or review article will tell you the same. One company even did a test where the radar gun was pointed directly at a Phazer unit, and it still got a 100% perfect speed reading.

Best solution for speeders: get your hands on some milspec stealth radiation absorbing paint. Unfortunately, if you ever did get your hands on this, you'd probably be tried and imprisoned for treason, espionage, and God knows what else.
