I hear the alarms and everything, but how can one be sure the signal was jammed on the tropper's end?

My observation is that the Porsche driver was in the wrong lane to start with. Who were they passing, to sit in the far left lane? They should drive defensively tucked in with the other clutter on the highway. When you sit out in the clear like that the authorities have an easier time picking you out.

It looks like the guy's going just as fast as others, most probably he got caught but at speed limit or just above so cops didn't stop him.

It took forever for the cop to hit him with the laser. If you couldn't recognize the cop there you deserve the ticket, jammer or not.

WOW. You are so cool in the vid Gadgetman! Nice work. When I get pulled over I'm ready for some intravenous valium.

Actually not something you should be commended on but very stupid on your part. By doing so all you have done it to highlight the fact that there are such devices that work against laser. By allowing the officer to see for himself he will look to employ other tactics such as high angle off, min range targeting or rear aspect not to mention he may also complain to the chief of police who will discuss it with the mayor and ultimately may work through the legislation to make them illegal in the state. (Like the other hand full of states that make it illegal to use them.)

Your tactic should have been to slow to posted speed limit quickly and then turn the jammer off so as not to get this confrontation!

Very very stupid!!!

I removed the videos to not inform the LEOs that these devices work. I'm not wanting a legislation passed to ban laser jammers in the state of Florida.

Agreed. The best way is to turn off jammer as soon as it goes off, slow down and make sure you get a lower reading!

Once you reveal the existence of a counter measure there will soon come a counter-counter measure...

Go to France.
They know that you know and they know that. So they take their time taking your car apart. Even all day. Thye call in the next shift to investigate.
You never get to where you were speeding to.
You know and you will pay for it in fines, lost time and being on the "list" for the next xx years to come.

So be careful what you are looking for ....
