So you can arrive early at your destination. I've seen countless times where someone goes speeding by me just to slam on his brakes at the red light just ahead of us. I laugh, because everytime they speed off like bats out of hell and i end up pulling up beside them at the next light

also, the cops sometimes don't keep there radars and lasers and whatever on all the time. You can come speeding by and a bit before you come by them they put on there radars. Your sensor goes insane but it's to late. Fine, jam the radar. But when the officer see's nothing, he'll be coming after you anyways. Then, when he pulls you over, you'll be stuck on the side of the road for a few minutes. And guess what.. there goes those precious minutes, more like seconds, you saved by speeding around. If he finds the jammer, uh oh. You are going to wish you had just done the speed limit.

It's also pretty useless if your racing. Believe me, if your doing 100mph down a road and you blow past a cop. He doesn't need that radar or laser to know your speeding. If he doesn't get you for speeding, he'll have you for racing. Which is worse

To be honest, i do sometimes speed inorder to get to my destination sooner. Not as much now, because it seems useless. I'll just leave a few minutes earlier and it saves me the trouble and worry. I have gone speeding down a street at 125+ kph when it was 50kph speed limit. So, i got home a few minutes earlier. I had to ask myself though, was it really worth risking my drivers licenses or even my life, just to save a few minutes?
Hmm, that's funny because I have never street raced a day in my life. I resent your assumption that I need the jammers to street race.

I have all my detectors and jammers because I like to drive fast on the freeway at night. I don't see a problem with this as I am the only one on a straight road that is meant for high speeds.

Even if I got pulled over, the cop would have no proof of my speed and he can't search my vehicle without a warrant. He'd have to tell me to show up at an inspection facility and by that time I'd have the jammer off the car.
