Best Laser Jammers for Police Lidar Defense
Laser jammers aim is to block police lidar traffic enforcement and prevent speeding tickets.
Updated: 07-29-25
Over the past 20 or so years jamming lidar traffic enforcement technology was a fairly easy task for most laser jammers.
Laser jammer manufacturers just had purchase police lidar speed guns from the manufacturer, connect them to their scope, analyze the simple
fixed pulse-traing  in of the police lidar gun, and then add an algorithm--to cancel out the laser pulse rates--to their database look up tables, to be used in creating an effective laser jamming strategy. An early laser jammer manufacturer, called Blinder, held the patent on this technology and has since come to a royalty arrangement with the other laser jammer manufacturers. While no longer marketed as Blinder any longer in the U.S. market, Blinder is now behind Escort branded laser jammers, including the most recent and extremely capable
Escort ZR6 Laser Shifter. Police Lidar traffic enforcement continues to become more popular by police agencies as for speed enforcement and the laser gun manufactures have become much more aggressive in developing new technology to beat laser jammers.
To do this several manufacturers have begun incorporating variable and random pulses rates into their firmware and have substantially improved their optics. The result is that these new guns are absolutely lethal and more difficult for laser jammers to effectively defeat them.
We have also discovered that most of these police lidar speed gun manufacturers have been purchasing the latest versions of the laser jammers on a regular basis to revise their firmware to defeat them.
This approach has been undertaken primarily Laser Alley, the makers of the Dragon Eye Speed Lidar and Compact, variable pulse laser speed guns.
And guess what happens once their firmware gets compromised?
Because they have purchased the latest laser jammers and subscribe to the email list announcing the updates, they simply go online download the latest updates into their jammer, program a new algorithm for their laser gun(s) and blast out an email to their customers.
So now the cat and mouse game continues, on steroids!
So which gun manufacturers are taking laser jammer use seriously?
Dragon Eye Police Lidar Gun
 Two of the newest police laser guns that have been causing a lot of ruckus in our speed counter measurement community are the Dragon Eye/Laser Alley Speed Lidar and Compact police lasers.
This gun is the brainchild of Scott Patterson who has a long history of developing police lidar--working with Kustom Signals and other companies.
Scott’s goal was simple, to develop inexpensive but very high quality police laser guns that can defeat all laser jammers on the market,
Because our sources are both in the police laser traffic enforcement and speed counter measurement communities, we've conducted a ton of research on how they have been able to accomplish this.
We’ve discovered that they’re currently using at least 12 different versions of Dragon Eye software and the firmware version that is displayed when the system boots up is not always reported on the laser guns, making it very difficult for the laser jammer companies to know if there has been a revision.
Because of this the only way to know for sure what version firmware is installed on each gun is to scope it in an attempt to determine the actual pulse rates whether they be fixed, variable--or most challenging--random.
Now with our most recent laser jammers testing we were able to test them against the latest versions of their variable-pulse rate (VPR laser). The videos can be found on our RadarBusters Youtube channel (be sure to subscribe). If you are looking for specific laser videos, be sure to check out RadarBusters' laser jammer tests and review videos.
Fortunately Blinder has broken the code on several Dragon Eyes recently and their revised database lookup table should be forthcoming.
But that is not the end of the story. Not by a long shot!
Does this mean that it can jam the other 9?
Apparently not, as an independent testing group has tested the Blinder HP-905 and Laser Interceptor (LaserShifter Pro) and found that they have not.
And when they don’t the jammers they typically don’t alert the driver that they are being targeted and an instant-punch through occurs yielding the speed to the officer in a blink of an eye.
It’s as if the driver has no jammer at all. This is really scary!
How Popular is the Dragon Eye Laser Gun?
Currently I know of police departments using them in Florida, Georgia, Maryland and Delaware.
We've even encountered Dragon Eye speed lidars in Edmonton, Alberta as they are used as a photo enforcement tool.
But this list is not a complete one and Dragon Eye is being quite careful in publishing which states or municipalities. Our sources indicated the state of New Jersey is currently evaluating them and there are others as well.
TrueSpeed SX & SXB
 Next up in the unjammable laser gun category is the new TruSpeed SX and TruSpeed SXB, manufactured by Laser Technology or LTI for short.
What I have learned about these police laser speed guns so far is that they utilize random pulse rate algorithm making it nearly impossible for any past or currently manufactured laser jammer to detect and/or jam, just like the Dragon Eyes!
Stalker XLR/RLR
Stalkers have generally proven to be difficult to jam, even though their pulse rates have been historically fixed pulse-rate guns. But they have also gotten very serious about defeating the latest jammer.
The Stalker XLR and the Stalker RLR speed lidar guns are an absolute beast with some laser jammers.
The other manufacturers have been more successful at effectively jamming the currently tested firmware of the Stalker. But it is our understanding they are not standing still, as the lidar manufacturers have been competing on which ones are being the most effective at defeating all jammers past and present.
Like the other laser guns, their prices have been falling as well as they produce and sell more of them and reducing their construction costs through an economies of scale.
Growing Popularity of Police Lidar Traffic Enforcement
Furthermore, because these lidar gun manufactures are marketing the aspect that radar detectors are completely worthless at this type of technology.
Because of this we will be seeing a growing trend with police departments investing more of their budget into police laser. We understand yet another lidar gun manufacturer will be getting in the game of producing unjammable guns. That company is Kustom Signals. We expect to see something on the horizon pretty soon.
(Note: this isn’t particularly true because we have determined that the Valentine V1, new Escort Redline and Passport, as well as the top-end detectors from Whistler are doing an effective job at alerting to them.)
Will the Laser Jammer Look-Up Table Die?
It’s evident to me that as the popularity of these “unjammable” guns grow in popularity, the only way the laser jammer manufactures will survive is to develop technology that does not rely on the database look-up tables that they have historically utilized.
New-generation laser jammers must become “smart,” able to sense a variable/randoms pulse rates on the fly and then transmit back the appropriate variable pulse rates to jam.
So, how are the lidar jammer manufacturers doing?
We are please to report that all laser jammers offered to be purchased from Radar Busters, are effective to varying degrees of defeating these latest generation police lasers.
In our closed-course and real-world testing, we have are pleased to report that all of the laser jamming system manufacturers are producing laser jammers that are indeed effective, these include the companies Escort (manufactured by Blinder.dk), Adaptiv TPX, TMG America.
Adding Laser Veil G6 to your Arsenal
 Thankfully as these new “unjammable” begin entering the market, there is a solution to lower your risk of getting a speeding ticket called the Veil stealth coating.
The Veil G6 Stealth Coating is applied to your headlights, taillights, fog lights, front and rear license plates, that effectively absorbs the infra-red light beam from a police lidar gun. Because does not rely on destructive interference as do the laser jammers, it is capable of absorbing all of the different pulse rates: fixed, variable, and random.
Because of this the officer will have a harder time to obtain a reading from his lidar gun, even if your jammer proves ineffective, Veil will still buy enough you time to slow down.
Drivers should own one of the aforementioned radar detectors, so they can react to their detector’s laser warning.
Veil is not a jam-to-gun solution (JTG), but there are times that it can (as evidenced in the latest RALETC laser jammer test), depending on the color and shape of your vehicle (darker colors are generally better than lighter ones such as white or metallic silver.
By using Veil in conjunction with one of these laser jammers, you will have a defense-in-depth approach; a technique used by the U.S. military on their stealth fighter planes.
This will be your best option to remain ticket free when encountering the latest police lasers out there.
