Having read the posts regarding the dastardly tactics used by our boys in blue to try and stop us all having fun in our Scoobs, I have been looking into the gadgets that can help us all be safer drivers (?) - namely GPS camera locaters (Geodesy, Blue i) and Laser Jammers (Blinder M-10 Twin)

I took it upon myself to inquire with the manufacturers if they would be prepared to offer us all a 'group buy' discount and so far the indications are looking hopeful.

It would help me to finalise the deal if I could get some idea of how many people would be interested in taking part - it might improve our discount level!

Please drop a note below if you are interested in taking part by indicating which product(s) you are interested in purchasing. (eg. 1xBlue i, 2x Blinder etc...)

Information on the products can be found at the following web sites...

Laser Jammer...
http://www.blinder.dk/uk/m-10.htm

Origin Blue i...
http://www.originbluei.com

Morpheus Geodesey...
http://www.morpheous.co.uk/morpheous.asp

I will collect the results and make the necesary arrangements on our collective behalf. Personally, I fancy the Jammer! Hope you all find this of interest.
Mak.

PS. As I need to collect the result of this post, please please please dont post any pointless replies - I am only interested in counting up how many people 'are' interested in each product so I can try to get us a better discount. I dont really want to know if you think the products are crap or that you are not interested in taking part. Product information and prices can be found on the web sites above.
Thanks Guys/Gals.

Thanks for the comments...

Here is what Speedtraps have to say about the Blinder M10 Twin...

The BLINDER LASERJAMMER is high quality product manufactured in aluminium, easy to mount and easily serviced and Costs £289.95 This twin transmitter, twin detector combined unit comes standard with two IR. diode arrays and a laser detector in each IR. head. A miniature buzzer supplied can be installed inside the vehicle, and provides the audible alarm each time one of the detector heads are hit by the laser beam of a police laser gun.

They claim that the unit offers:

Complete protection against all laserguns and fotolaser traps. The IR. Detectors transmit the incoming laser pulse frequency to the computer. The computer calculates the optimal jamming pulse (APS) for the eight specially manufactured IR. jamming LED's in each head.
Automatic pulse selection for the optimal infrared jamming shield and because the jamming pulse only is transmitted in a fraction of a second, it has become possible to apply an extremely powerful returning jamming pulse signal.
Detection of the laser gun and Laser Warning Alert. The laser warning system (LWS) tells the driver, that a lasergun is operating near him.

So did it work...... ?


With our boot load of Laser guns, don't ask, it not easy buying this stuff, we had to tell a few lies and spend quite a few quid, but it is possible to own your own speed detection gun.

Off to a nice quiet straight road, after all we did not want to attract too much attention, did we? We did the test by using the four main Laser Guns used in the UK, the LTI 20-20, Riegl LR 90, UltraLite LR and Prolaser II

We then drove our test car towards the guns in turn doing several runs, we targeted the numberplate and as many other parts of the cars as possible at ranges of over half a mile, so far in fact it was hard to spot the car in the sights of the guns.

All the guns had a real problem they all showed errors, the LTI went through almost all the errors it could find, none could get a speed and only some could get a distance, even at 20ft the guns could not get a speed reading, not only that, but it DID NOT bring up the LTI's Jammer indicator. Now that's very smart!


I was impressed, very impressed, I have tested other jammers and they never worked or if they did it was only on some of the readings they managed to jam the guns. The Blinder however did what they said it would do. It's a well made piece of kit, it looks good, and is made in a tough aluminium case, it came over as a high quality product, unlike the others.

So what's like in the car, well is gets rather noisy with it's warning system going, you get plenty of time to slow down at your own speed to the legal limit and then turn off the system as you continue to drive towards that rather confused copper... you could even give him time to get a speed reading of your car at the legal limit after the jammer is switched off to remove some of the suspicion.

The twin heads in this case were mounted in the grill and were not easy to spot without knowing what you were looking for.


Can we recommend it, Well..... YES, we can.
Oh yes, just in case you are wondering do I use it........... your right I do!
In fact all the people at the test have bought one.

Are they legal? Well we don't really know there is no law about transmitting light and there is no law about using them yet, so for the moment if you have been thinking about getting one, go for it. My recommendation is the Blinder, We have tested some of the others and some of the manufactures that offered to send us one for the test backed out at the last minute. Blinder was the only one that survived the test with flying colors.

URL for this test is at:
http://www.ukspeedtraps.co.uk/frames.htm under the tab marked
"Laser Jammer Tests" -> Blinder M10 Twin.

For the purposes of the group buy, I should add that Blinder have been quick to take up the chance to sell to us and forthcoming in information to date. Hope to have a sexy price for them next week.

Question

So is it true that the excuse of having automatic garage doors is valid when caught in possesion of these jammers, or is it one of those urban myths?
