Does the detector only warn you of a radar/laser gun
from a cop/pig or does it scramble the signal also?
The dectecors only warn you. Radar jammers can be very
effective, but are _highly_ illegal because to 'jam' or 'scramble'
the signal you must transmit on the same frequency, which is
prohibited by the FCC. There are so called legal 'jammers' and
'scramblers' advertised in the back of some car mags; they do
absolutely nothing, don't waste your money. A laser jammer could be
legal (at least no FCC complications), but very tough to do properly
since the laser beam is much more highly directional (less angular
divergence) and would have to be aimed. This would require some
sophisticated detection circuitry and beam steering componants, or an
extremely powerful, highly divergent laser; either way would be quite
expensive. Beware of any 'laser jammers' advertised.
