Guys, what did I tell you about this?! It's like you're not even listening!

[no_lft_shft]

You guys should have invited last years cannonball winner to talk about the best ways to jam and avoid detection. Those guys are on an entire different level and probably know everything about this stuff

[stevebanning]

Some dude at defcon developed a jammer that would pull data from google maps to check the correct speed limit of whichever road he was located on and would send back a laser signal compatible with most cop laser scanners that would display the right speed on their reading. it was hilarious.

“We’re in Cali baby, everything’s illegal”

Truer words have never been spoken.

[ICKY]

the trick is to have a jammer that detects, then jams for a couple seconds, then STOPS. it gives you time to reduce your speed but doesnt give away that youre jamming.

[djyondrr]

Imagine doing 30 in a 35 and your scrambler makes a cop clock you at 90

I had a Rocky Mountain Radar jammer some 15 years ago. I doubted the jamming capability from the start, but it was a good fun trick on other drivers. If you turn on the jamming feature, it will trigger anyone around you with a detector. I used to play with it on the highway to see who brakes and slows down.

Quality anti government content guys ❤️

[jamesfraley]

I absolutely want to see you build a radar jammer.

[VortexRadar]

Thanks for taking the time to test and debunk RMR’s products. They can detect radar, though the range is far worse than other detectors in the same price range. Their scrambling capability is definitely a scam in practice which is what we generally are referring to. Same thing with many other claims like 100% POP detection and RDD immunity.

The TMG is a decent laser jammer and yeah, it works differently and is effective against many laser guns.

Good job taking the time to research the background and facts with all this stuff too!

[Matticus]

I had a laser jammer years ago. It came with a switch so, when the alarm sounded, you could slow down and turn it off and allow the cop to get your speed. Otherwise, he'd know something is up

[rjbrown]

If a cop points his radar or laser radar at your car and it scrambles or jams his gun your definitely getting pulled over.

[noonesfang]

Fun fact Lasers are regulated by the FDA because the earliest implementation of civilian lasers were at supermarket checkout stands and there was concern of their effect on food.

[DustinHasVideos]

The idea behind a laser scrambler is run it for a few seconds. This will allow you to slow down then allow the laser to detect your speed. If it gets no reading you will get pulled over for a visual speed estimate of speeding. Many have a setting where they detect a laser and beep then 2-3 seconds later it quits scrambling

[jacobfaseler]

What would be really cool is if donut developed a car with a low radar cross section. Combined with LiDAR jamming it would actually be relatively immune… with only the slight chance of becoming classified once validated.

[nerdlord]

I'm not a car person, but this channel is fun to watch the host are great entertainers

[lordfarquad]

Timy meat gang shout out does not go overlooked lol. Knowing cody, and the fact that noel races now, you guys could definitively collab.

[CrodleMon]

Really love the backdrop in this episode, so chill having the rest of the donut boys just carrying on like normal 😎

[stanburk]

The guy that designed the C4 corvette was previously an engineer for a defence contractor. So when he designed the front of the vette he worked with the angles of the car and even the radiator to give a lower radar cross section.

If anyone is interested in a more in depth explanation of how radar and lidar work, here you go.

They're based on the doppler effect, which describes the way a wave will be compressed when bouncing off of an object moving towards it, and stretched when the object is moving away.

You can actually listen for an example of this. When you stand next to a road, the sound of passing cars seems to rise in pitch as they approach, then drop as they pass you and pull away. This is because the sound waves the car is producing are being compressed, then stretched, eg the doppler effect.

It works the same way with light, just far more subtly. The gun sends out a beam of radio or infrared light at a precise known wavelength. When the beam comes back, it compares the wavelength of the incoming light, notes the degree of stretching or compression, and from that calculates your speed. Relative to its own, anyway.

Importantly, this effect only works when something is moving towards or away from you. If it's moving perpendicular to the direction you're facing you can't use the doppler effect to figure out its speed.

You've probably heard doppler in relation to weather radars. That's not the system that shows cloud cover and rainfall. Doppler radar is used to get early warning or tornados by flagging spots where clouds approaching and receding are right next to each other, which COULD indicate rotation in the clouds and a forming tornado.
