Are these things legal or not ?
In the process of turning the old shed / coal house into a proper man cave and found my old Snooper 815 in a drawer.
The unit is not a jammer.
Its totally passive and works on 5 bands RF plus laser :y
I know it has saved my licence many a time in years gone bye so it could be a handy tool ;)

Laser detection is a bit hopeless, by the time it can see the beam its pointing at you so to late! ;D

I know what you mean with that.
Its does a good job if your in a convoy of traffic because you tend to get a reflection off the cars in front which gives you a chance to touch the brakes but if your in front, your stuffed >:(

No chance, the little scatter from the low power lasers used would be undetectable given background light levels.

If the laser detector can see a laser beam, then the driver can see a wally bobby in a wally bib pointing his imaginary star track fazer.
They are no longer allowed to hide behind a bush afaik....?

I've carried a Snooper in the glove box for many years. I don't use it, because many things set it off. A lot of stuff works on the same band as the cameras do ;D
As for the laser side of things. They're supposed to pick up beam scatter, but I'm :-\ :-\ on that one.
As Mark says, by the time it's picked up the beam, you've reacted they've got you :( :(

Used to have a bell 550 unit. radar was a pain. Knew were all the tesco mini marts were.
Got hit by a laser gun, registered the two shots which were very close together. No action taken.
As you say, the officer wasnt hiding, just using a gruop of local council grass cutting teams with there flashing lights as a suitable distraction.

Believe me, round here they have a habit of hiding behind trees with the laser gun on a trypod along side the trunk of the tree >:(
Another trick is a stretch of duel carrageway in the city centre (30mph). They park the van in a carpark along side the road behind a 6 foot fence and have the trypod sat on the path on the other side of the fence >:(
