This technology is different from jammers, jammers send an error to the gun and the cops know that you are running something. With a shifter it takes that beam and directs it off into nowhere so the gun does not receive a signal back Reading 0km/h. There has been claims that it has a 3 second cut out, what I mean by that is it will shift for 3 seconds giving you time to brake and it will shut it off allowing the cop to get a reading, one that you are within the limits of.
There is a lot of misinformation in this post so I just wanted to clarify. Laser "Shifters" are the same as "jammers"... your cop doesnt get "0" he gets no read/error codes. The thing that most people don't realize is that on many "shots" a cop DOESNT get a reading, so its not unusual not to get a read on a vehicle. In fact, HID Projectors actually jam laser too!

The reason they are legal is because they can't regulate "light" and that is all laser is. As I said, HID Projectors jam laser, so do you want to ban HIDs? Radar jamming IS illegal and thats because Radar signals or protected by the FCC (I think thats the right agency). The laser jammers, or shifters as they are called as a PR move, effectively give the cop no reading by sending a mix of frequencies back.

Anyone running HID projectors are running laser jammers of sorts as is , so thats what makes them extremely effective on cars such as the current gen camaro- HIDPs + Jammers with no easily reflective surface in the front... but your HIDPs need to be ON to work

as far as legality is concerned:

The use of a radar detector in a passenger vehicle is legal in all states with the exception of Virginia, Washington DC. and on military bases.
In Canada, the only three provinces that allow their use are Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan.
Laser Jammers and Radar Jammers are illegal in the states of Nebraska, Minnesota, Utah, California, Oklahoma, Virginia, Colorado, Illinois and Washington DC.
