Camera/Laser Detectors.

I reckon this is definately the one to go for. As you say, you'll have to buy the laser diffuser as an add on. If you buy second hand make sure the seller lets you know their password so that you can log on to the database and then change the password for your own (this is what i've found out so far). At the same time, if you spot me bidding, please be kind

Cheers

the link is just for the jammer? looks like just a jammer and a cable for £150, what do I plug it into? some sort of GPS device i guess ?

I don't personally know of any conviction like you say. But I would have thought that if an Officer with a laser gun is trying to get a reading from you and the laser keeps coming up with error code would that not give him reasonable thought to think you have a device on the car that is obstructing their duty......?

If it is turned off then he will have no reason to stop, providing you are not speeding.

I was under the impression that an Officer has to "formulate an opinion" that a car is speeding and then use either a mobile camera/hand held laser to prove his judgement and use as evidence if you are.

"Pinging" is supposed to be a no -no, which is whereby an officer will set up a camera/laser on a stand and just have it firing on every car that passes.
There was one of these on each of the 3 lanes of the A3 the other week. I spotted it in the distance,and as I passed under the bridge saw a Police van parked up out of view from the motorway, with what looked like was nice little natter going on between 5-6 of them.

I was stiil under the impression that the Origin B2 will still warn you of a laser gun, but only when the laser is locked on? As a camera detector though, it is one of the best IMO.

Ive got an Origin B2 and got mine for £150 brand new from ebay - bargain central

The jammer thing someone got arrested over and taken to court, but as the driver didnt activate the device, the Origin B2 unit did, they couldnt prosecute the driver and he got away with it.

The Origin B2 unit is very tidy tho i think and is the best around of that type and its great small size means you can remove it and put in your pocket without any agro which makes you far more likely to use it and take it out the car after, others arent as good, some friends have the Road Angel and its poor on GPS Signal and poor on what it does in comparison i think hence the cheaper price.

The origin B2 comes with 6 months free subscription to updates as well, careful if buying 2nd hand as if they have gone outside the subscription period there is a reconnection fee of £25 i think it is plus the subscription fee

Exactamundo the police have to prove you operated the device manually, my friend is an ex traffic cop there are so many loop holes in the law
