Jamie, Radar detectors are legal in some states of the USA. Any powered radar jammer is a transmitter. Transmitting on radar bands without a license in the USA can be a $10,000 federal fine (first offense), plus confiscation of the equipment (your car). The locals might jump in with assorted other charges, such as interfering or obstruction. Since 9/11, expect the worst on this. *Especially* if that stuff even works, I sure hope that you do not get caught with it. Possession without a license is proof of intent, with the Feds, even if it is not plugged in, and it is just riding in the trunk. You have certain constitutional rights here. Your car does not. Kiss the car good-bye. Sorry. Look it up, or just ask the FCC. *No* court, Congress, or President in the USA can reverse an FCC decision or penalty. Please do not shoot the messenger.
